I tried to feed Mackenzie about 15 mins after she was born. She had been placed on my chest straight away and then was taken for about 3 mins to have quick check over. She was then on me for another hr or so and we tried latching her a few times. She wasn't very hungry but def latched on and seemed to know what to do.

All up I had about 1/12 hrs in the birth room with hubby only and we just cuddled her and tried feeding (and called some people!). It was such a nice peaceful time and there was no pressure. Mackenzie is a very good feeder and the only issue I had were sore nipples (very sore).

Best of luck with it all and remeber the ABA are there to help - they are REALLY helpful! But don't feel guilty either if it doesn't work the way you want - you can't always predict what will happen.
