[Nfbmo] Mikaela Is Home

[Debbie Wunder]

Hello Bryan, yes it sure is wonderful that Mikaela is home with her parents. 
I would like to help explain what occurred during the breast feeding, and I 
hope that it will make you feel better about what took place. During the 
first breast feeding Erika the Mom realized herself that the baby was having 
difficulty breathing and on her own moved Mikaela and asked the nurse for 
help in repositioning the baby. This is a very common problem with new moms 
in breast feeding. Because of there being such a small area of space between 
their nose and mouth, and the size of the breast, it is easy to cause 
breathing difficulty. Mikaela did not require any help in breathing via any 
special treatment, or in any other way. The only thing needed was to 
position her differently. If you are a new mom you do not really know how to 
do this. What is needed to be done is to hold usually two fingers pressing 
down on the to keep it away from the nostril of the infant. Most hospitals 
have a lactation nurse who will first help new moms showing them all the 
different methods in feeding.
