The Prescription

Posted under Being RSG, HG by Recovering Straight Girl

When I counsel a new mom who is having difficulty with breastfeeding, milk supply or conntecting with her baby, I tell her about The Prescription.  The Prescription is when you go to bed with your baby for 24 hours and get lots of rest and have a lot of skin to skin contact.  Don’t do anything else, just focus on rest and being with your newborn.  It will usually do the trick to solve any nursing problems and is a great solution.

Well, I found that it also helps in your relationship with your partner after recovering from any kind of stressful event/day/week.  Making that time to just BE together and focus on connecting and loving each other is… remarkable.
