my DD was born looking for the breast!! so funny when they held her up to put her on my chest and there she was rooting around for it! LOL!

DS was born last week and was placed on my tummy and they reminded me to lift my shirt up to give us skin to skin. He almost straight away was looking round to attach. He was making quite an effort, but I wasnt able to put him on. I should have maybe asked for some help to do it, but I had to lye there for about up to 60mins while they stitched and checked me etc (placenta took a while to come out too). I was not lying in a posistion that felt like I could put him on even though he wanted to and I feel a bit bad about it, especially as he was making such an effort. My doula said it was fine, as his sniffy and wriggling round was all good for him too - but i dunno?
