It's such a shame that doctors are not given more education about bfing. Those with an interest in it do further study, but most GPs have done only 4 hours of bfing education (this was discovered during a survey of doctors). Most mums have done more than that!! So unless your GP or health professional that you speak to has an interest, it is hit and miss as to whether you will get good information

Research has shown that bm is absolutely the best thing for a sick baby, and is often the only thing that is tolerated by a baby with gastro - more so than water!! Absolutely continuing to feed is the right thing - even your DS knew that, clever thing, which is why he wanted it so much!
