PRE-BREASTFEEDING BEHAVIOURS.
When this photograph was taken, Storm weighs 1400g and is in the stepdown nursery, growing nicely. Sharleen has just come in, and Stohm is awake and alert - see how the eyes focus on the camera coming within range.
STATE ORGANISATION
State organisation is important to understand in order to understand newborn breastfeeding. State organisation is about the level of awakeness of the baby.
Baby will spend most of its time asleep, and sleep can be deep, or quiet, or light.
As the state organisation of the baby rises, it goes through being drowsy, being awake and quiet, and "awake and alert".
Crying is a higher level of state org-anisation, and "hard crying" is the highest.
CRYING IS ALWAYS BAD
To breastfeed .... the newborn must be "awake and alert". next
