I have successfully breastfed my four children up to the ages of about 17mths. The biggest problem I had was the availability of artificial milk. Whenever they were fussy I was always told 'give him a bottle' most of my friends gave up very early as 'bottles were so much easier', In hospital it was suggested to give them top up bottles till my milk came in...I was sent home with bags full of artificial feeding sachets and advertising. The breastfeeding stuff was a single photocopy (hardly able to read it). Also the work problem is a farce! I had to express in a toilet and use my meal time too!
