Now, at a week and 2 days, only when they're fussy and I can't figure out what's wrong... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-practice-skin-to-skin#post-114620 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 09:48:00 +0000 autumnlove 114620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only at the hospital! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-practice-skin-to-skin#post-114586 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 07:54:48 +0000 heffalump 114586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it for a while. But then I finally had to stop because for some reason my milk refused to dry up when we did skin to skin, and I was sooooo sick of leaking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-practice-skin-to-skin#post-114575 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 04:44:25 +0000 Andrea 114575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't do it either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-practice-skin-to-skin#post-114566 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 02:54:56 +0000 cupcakemama 114566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the hospital?

But I guess I won't know what I can do until I'm at that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-practice-skin-to-skin#post-114480 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 16:33:42 +0000 Arden 114480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope to do a lot, for as long as possible.

I'm in tx &amp; it's hot enough that when we're home she's mostly in her diaper &amp; I walk around in just my underwear a lot, ha. so whenever she feeds or I'm walking around holding her, we're skin to skin. once it gets a little hotter, though, that's going to have to stop b/c I'm not all about sweating all over each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-practice-skin-to-skin#post-114389 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 13:30:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 114389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I practiced skin to skin almost exclusively the entire first week of LO's life. He's 6 weeks old and we aren't ever skin to skin now except when we bathe or shower together, which he loves!<br /> I think I stopped around week 3 just because I was wanting to be dressed like a normal person. </p>
