I'll up-vote you Hans. I understand your opinion, even though I'm neutral on this.

Hans, doctors allowed her to do this. I am going to value their input over yours - no hard feelings. Besides, the filming of this tender moment, most certainly had the approval of the mother in question. Your post criticizes both doctors and the mother, and I don't see how you're more qualified to sanction or not sanction this. I understand that is your opinion and the comments section is the place for it, but like I said: I am going to trust the opinions of the participants (some of them professionals) in this beautiful, singular moment.

Respectfully disagree - I did watch and it was heartwarming. Reminded me of my own son’s birth. Direct skin to skin contact is what’s recommended, babies actually don’t need milk for 2-3 days after being born but I’m sure early latching is good. Regarding privacy I personally wouldn’t share a video like this but it was their choice.

depends on hospital policy, as well. I was not able to hold my babies while they were patching me up but was able to snuggle them with assistance. I was also able to breastfeed within 30 or so minutes with the exception of my first, I had to wait a whole day.

Baby to the breast as soon as possible? What if the baby is bottle fed?

Why on earth would you care what personal choices other people make about sharing?

the baby seems pretty frustrated about not finding milk!
