With Ethan my milk didn't come in, he really didn't cry for food to make it come in. I was feeding him all day and I was also given the wrong information. We were told that you could do a mix of bottle and breast but Ethan held out for the bottles feeds at night that his dad was Jane - Our Little Escapadeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14374386125547193141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797136949052460166.post-72595767651682428242015-08-05T22:54:27.586+01:002015-08-05T22:54:27.586+01:00I had a similar experience to you but the hospital...I had a similar experience to you but the hospital said that I was not giving enough milk and they provided milk although there was a considerable amount of pressure from the nurses to breastfeed!

Having the right support from the hospital and at home is a big part of breastfeeding successfully, in my opinion. I was encouraged not to breastfeed many times but persevered. I feel lucky that I had my Mum to encourage me to keep going and I had one amazing midwife that I saw regularly to help too.

Some areas have great breastfeeding support and others seem to fall so far short. When I had Alex, ye lost a lot of weight, I had midwives coming every day (never the same one) and not one of them asked to see me feed him so again I switched to formula. It is such a shame the proper support isn't there for those who want to breastfeed.Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08103326992728451417noreply@blogger.com
