Also, I know that if a girl has to have a c-section, special protocols must be undertaken to make sure she "thinks" she free whelped to kick in the natural instincts necessary to care for her babies. They save the placenta and even rub some of the fluids, etc on her nd place the placenta down by her so when she wakes up from the anesthesia it is there.
Is this true? |
I, too have heard this...you save one or two placentas which help bring down the milk and to help mom realize that those are her pups and not some aliens that magically appeared.
