Babies: Breastfeeding sleep
Besides being the optimal source of nutrition for your baby in her
first year, nursing has obvious psychological benefits for both mother
and baby. At birth, infants see only 12 to 15 inches, the distance
between a nursing baby and its mother’s face. Studies have found that
infants as young as 1 week prefer the smell of their own mother’s milk.
