I don't know if I'm supposed to say this or if it sounds crude but I co-slept and night nursed and I always wandered how my newborn could find his "bottle" in the dark and move there and latch onto the right spot without any fumbling at all. I was told because babies can smell the milk?
I assumed he was gifted as soon as I saw him because of his strong presence, but I thought the alertness was due to a healthy pregnancy and a natural waterbirth. But that's not why I guess if Katelyn was an alert C-section. I tripped out over that story of her helping with her own C-section. I can totally believe that, but i want to hear the details. Newborns are so much more interactive than everybody else described them to me.
P.S. Off-topic but my #2 is due in just seven weeks. Lovely to be reading the baby storiess here right now.
