Our hormones chemically gear us to need to be near our children during their young years yet we continue to make women think that their post-partum depression is an imbalance in them and not just nature trying to keep the mother-child connection strong. I think getting ‘back to biology’ might help a lot of women.

Skin-to-skin is so natural when breastfeeding. Bottle-feeding mommas could just wear a tank top or reveal their tummy so baby is getting that-even arm-to-babies head is skin-to-skin. I am with you that skin-to-skin was so easy to get in with my infants too-felt like much more than 6 hours!

Good reason to have some early cuddle time when possible! This is pretty easy to do if you are breastfeeding! I know I had way more than 6 hours of feeding a day with my little hungry one in the beginning!
