Hi Kelly

I have one friend who was told by a Clinic nurse she didnt have enough milk, and she HAD to formula feed baby as well as express she expressed for two weeks (she would shut herself up in her house with the curtains shut to do this as she was embarrassed) then "ran out" of milk and stopped expressing when she was not getting a whole feed out after expressing every 4 hours... (dont know where she got expressing instructions i am pretty sure it was the GP she went to for second opinion on not enough milk NOT a LC)

Another friend had cracked sore nipples but was perserving with breastfeeding... on day 10 she had a follow up midwife visit at home and her baby lost weight and the midwife that came to her house said she was feeding the baby wrong and told her to get rid of the dummy and to do this and that (not supportivly) so totally shattered my friends confidence then my friend asked her friend who used be like a wet nurse and gave her tips but not before giving the baby formula , my friend then expressed for a little while and then about 2 or 4 weeks after that "ran out" of milk as was only getting 5 mls out when expressing.

Another friend hated the idea of breastfeeding was told by her HUSBAND her boobs were useless and coincendentally the day she came home from hospital (day 3) her baby refused her boob and then her milk dried up.... hmmmmmm

so answer to question: Clinic Health Nurse then GP, Homevist Midwife & Husband
