    Remember they aren't born starving, they have been nourished by the placenta all that time until they are born. But for optimal bonding and feeding, skin to skin cuddles right away are ideal and then allowing baby to feed when he's ready - not when the midwife shoves the boob in the baby's mouth! Check out the breast crawl below: well worth the watch.
