Wow, simply wow. ?When I first heard of this concept, I really thought it was amazing, but didn’t see it happening in a hospital near me. ?Thankfully that tide is starting to turn, slowly, but it’s a start. ?Take a look at this amazing video!

It’s amazing that something as simple can help breastfeeding mothers and babies so much. ?Not only will it help with breastfeeding, but it will also help with lowering infant mortality, particularly in third world countries.
What a beautiful concept! I had never heard of this before, thanks for posting it.
My daughter was born in a free standing birth center and we did immediate skin to skin and naturally breastfed off and on the first hour or two. Then she started having complications (still not sure why) and had to be transferred to NICU care. Two days later and endless stressful poking and prodding she was still able to do the breast crawl without hesitation! Thankfully, newborns are not born with the knowledge that we find breastfeeding difficult!
