Nurses touching your body - it does feel uncomfortable
15 December 2006
Your article is right on!
Personally the nurse at the hospital asked
me for permission to help me breastfeed.
I thought that was very nice.
But I did get uncomfortable quickly.
Because breastfeeding is a very private
& personal thing to do.
And idealy -if done the right way - no help
is needed.
So as soon as I got a bit uncomfortable,
I asked the nurse to just guide me how
to do it & I'll do it myself.
She was smart enough to understand.
And so I got the best of both the worlds -
I breastfeeded my baby totally myself
& I did it the right way with her guidance!
That's how it should be done in all hospitals.
