3. Birth, skin-to-skin and the first feed
All our mums have different birth experiences. Find out why skin-to-skin contact is so important and about breastfeeding for the first time. "It's a great feeling to be able to provide for him without anything else, just me myself," Angela says. Melissa’s partner Andy says breastfeeding is healthy, cheaper and much less effort than making up bottles.
This is chapter three of our From Bump to Breastfeeding DVD. The rest of the DVD can be viewed by clicking through the links to the left. While they work very well as stand-alone films, the DVD is best viewed as a whole.
