pectations of what would
happen with the baby after
delivery, and; noted •the
importance of bonding,'
Many reasons for early
nursing and demand feeding
for mothers who wish to
breastfeed their babies were
given. The mothers agreed
that even if expectations
were not met, it was still
important to be.a confident,
informed mother in order to
establish the nursing re-
lationship. ,
Mothers gave practical
• hints on starting nursing and
continuing it at home using
Birtha and her baby (both
dolls) to illustrate new skills
to be learned. Prevention of
difficulties was emphasized,'
however, if problems should
arise, questions can be
answered by phoning a
League leader or in the book
