Guest guest Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 I see a lot of babies immediate postpartum to day 3, and do some private consulting as well, plus I get to see how the babies I observe inpatient are followed with outpatient lactation as well. Some of the structural issues and feeding characteristics I observe immediate postpartum resolve with time, but do you find a period you feel is most reliable for evaluating these characteristics? It's not uncommon to observe a baby <12 hours of age with significant facial/jaw asymmetry for example and then observe at 36 hours and I would never believe this was even the same baby! KWIM?
