We did this with ours as much as possible. We did better with our second: she was in physical contact with a parent 24 hours a day for the first week or so after birth. I'm not saying we always did (or do) hold them as long as they want, but we try, especially when they were infants. -- Spoken: Mark Weiser ARPA: mark@maryland Phone: +1-301-454-7817 CSNet: mark@umcp-cs UUCP: {seismo,allegra}!umcp-cs!mark USPS: Computer Science Dept., University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742
