When Drew was 2 days old the midwives came to check on me and him. We'll never forget Molly, Heather Anne, Dr. Fischbein and the sanctuary team for all they did to make our birth so special. I didn't in vision my baby being breech but everything else with my birth was how I pictured and hoped it would be. Nursing was hard at first even though I had taken a lactation class before I had the baby. I forgot some of the simple tips our teacher had given us. When the midwives came they helped me with getting him latched on right and later that day my lactation specialist Kimberly came and made sure we were on the right track. She reminded me about all the stuff she went over in our class. She was so great and reassuring. It was so nice to have that support from the beginning because nursing took practice for me and drew. He has a very tiny mouth and getting him latched on right was difficult at the beginning. I also went to the kaiser lactation lady's and they were wonderful and gave me more good tips.
