Assisting the mother in assuming an en face position with her newborn will support the bonding process. After birth is a good time to initiate breastfeeding, but first the mother needs time to explore the new infant and begin the bonding process.

The mother has just delivered and is more focused on the infant; she will not be receptive to teaching at this time.
