FJ - with Izzy I had the whole cram babies face into the boob experience- not too calm or nice really, but with James I wanted to have it very much baby led. I didn't do the whole breastcrawl thing because I wanted skin to skin cuddles and it just didn't work out that way but I was lying on my side - tricky one hour after a c/s! and we snuggled for ages and he just sort of licked and sniffed his way around for about 30 mins before latching on with a tiny bit of midwife assistance. It was so beautiful and was much more "natural" than with Izzy. I love thinking back to that first feed and seeing him all nudie there on me. I tend to agree that the natural instinct is to cuddle and snuggle and the way we naturally hold babies tends to be in a breastfeeding position too.
