Another interesting thing to do with the amniotic fluid - when the baby is breastcrawling it leaves "scent markers" with its hands (covered in amniotic fluid from birth) around and on the breast. This is presumably so bub can later find the breast again and also recognise Mum. Probably why I read that if possible don't wash the chest area when you shower after birth, as it facilitates attachment.
