Labor, Delivery, Lactation

     It turns out that there actually is some interest on behalf of the hospital's labor and delivery staff regarding what other things can be done for moms experiencing a difficult time in the childbirth and lactation process.
    There may indeed be some acupressure points they can use like:
          KI 9 which minimizes the transfer of toxins from mom to baby as well as calming the mother's spirit 
or
          SP 6 which helps a difficult labor and morning sickness or insufficient milk.

A newborn baby has only three demands.  They are warmth in the arms of its mother, food from her breasts, and security in the knowledge of her presence.  Breastfeeding satisfies all three.  ~Grantly Dick-Read
