Its funny u should say something about the hospital not supplying formula anymore. My cousin has had one breast inplant due to one of her boobies not growing at all and requested first to bottle feed as she had major problems last time boobie feeding. Anyways she had to take in all her own bottles and take in a can of formula and even though she did that the nurses still hassled her about breast feeding. I think this is crossing the line a bit though. If a mother wants to bottle feed and she has done the right thing and bought everything in to do so I think maybe they should have just let her go.

I know when I was on medication and couldnt breast feed I was ready to go on the defensive about with my hospital up here in QLD because of my cousins experience but they were totally fine with it. Maybe cos they new there was nothing else I could do they just didnt push the fact.

My cousin even got a remark from one of the nurses as she went to go and make up the bottles "look this baby over here is going to have a proper feed". She discharged herself straight after that and reported the nurse.

In the information package they sent out from my hospital I did notice too that they have asked if u are going to formula feed, to bring in a can now and I didnt have to do that with my daughter so they all must be going that way now.
