"First Lady's Prescription for Society"

0 Comments

Hillary ClintonHillary Clinton, a successful lawyer and children's advocate, was lying in her hospital bed after the Cesarean birth of her daughter, Chelsea. Like so many of us, she confesses she was trying desperately to figure out how to breastfeed.

"I had been trained to study everything forward, backward and upside down before reaching a conclusion. It seemed to me I ought to be able to figure this out. As I looked on in horror, Chelsea started to foam at the nose. I thought she was strangling or having convulsions."

She confesses she was trying desperately to figure out how to breastfeed

Clinton recalls hitting "every buzzer there was to push" until a nurse appeared who "calmly, then, suppressing a smile said, 'It would help if you held her head up a bit, like this.' Chelsea was taking in my milk, but because of the awkward way I held her, she was breathing it out of her nose!"
