Oooh no, the night midwives were better - the day midwife was a b*tch though. It was a nighttime midwife who spend a couple of hours sat with me helping to get DS on where everyone else ignored the issue and pushed formula. Everyone told me I was holding DS wrong, so tried to adjust him - he feeds best the way I instinctivly held him, still feeds like that now. He doesn't do the latch-on mouth either, taking him off because he didn't do the mouth was unhelpful - we just needed to trust each other that I'd not mess around with his feeds and he'd feed fine.

I'm very lucky that our special care until were fab too - they promoted expressed milk when DS needed an NG tube and encouraged me to not have him in the nursery when the tube came out - not that I needed encouragement!

I agree with a lot of PPs - why do FF mummies tell BF mummies pre-baby that BF is too hard and discourage us? What if BF mummies told off and mocked FF mummies?
