I agree Mrs Mac. I was pushed into giving my DD a bottle of formula when she was 2 days old because she wouldn't settle one night (I think I was the only mum who had actually kept her baby with her, rather than sending her to the nursery!) I was so anti doing it but I was just so exhausted and distressed my new baby kept screaming that eventually as a new, inexperienced mum I gave in to their pushing. I think Kelly summed it up beautifully - education is what is missing for mums, midwives, nurses, OBs, paeds, everybody. And what is really missing is support, understanding and empathy.
