I had exactly the same thing happen with the night shift midwives, the ganging up etc except they were trying to force me to FF!!! I had areally bad crack and had been expressing blood but was determined to BF and they were trying to push me into formula, at one stage one was sent in while I was getting ready for a shower (I had a broken foot so was on crutches) to convince me that DS would have all these problems if I didn't give him formula and that of all her kids the FF one was the healthiest. I was so angry and upset, this all happened in the middle of the night when I had no family to help me. they ended up giving him one bottle which I refused to go near. luckily the LC was there in the morning and we sorted out a plan and I managed to BF.
The LC said that unfortunately a lot of the late night midwives pushed FF as it made it easier.
I guess what I am saying is that there can be the same problem the other way around and its not pleasant either!
