I think Cindy was making a mountain out of a molehill when she made the statement about Casey not being the first to hold Casey. Truth be told, technically mothers are not the first to touch and hold their baby. You've got doctors, nurses, etc. etc. It's just the way it is and no biggie. It may have been something as simple as the nurses were finished cleaning up Caylee faster than Casey. Maybe Casey was nauseated. I know I got the adrenalin shakes so bad after I had my daughter that I didn't hold her for quite awhile.
My mother held my son before I did...I asked her to. I was being stitched up from the episiotomy, and my mother held him where I could look at him until that part of childbirth was over.
I don't see any big deal about that. I certainly has not had a negative impact on my bond with my child--or on my ability to parent him.
And we are a very close family.
