i struggled with attachment and am using a nipple shield, so definitely would have benefitted from more support from a LC in hospital.

i have found that if u are going thru any issue with your baby, ie, at the moment mine wont sleep during the day, then its your milk that is in question... 'oh she is probably hungry", "that seems like a hunger cry not a sleep cry", "try some formula and see if she sleeps", "if i were you i would put her on the bottle, how do you know she is getting enough milk"...

when u are really desperate, you are willing to try almost anything, i have started using formula out of desperation to see if it makes a difference to her sleep, but am now coming to my senses and think i will continue with breast feeding.
