    I know at my hospital they recommend that no one else besides mum holds the baby, if you want to hold the baby you have to just kinda hug mum & bub together. While I never followed these guidelines, maybe that's an idea for you?

    Oh and in regards to the BF - I found saying "oh are you hungry? Is it time for a feed?" to my son was enough to send a few men out for a smoke! I didn't care but wanted to warn anyone so they could leave if they wanted without it being a big deal. They ones who stayed just carried on the conversation, without eye contact
