Tell me about it!! - 2 mums in my latest massage course which started yesterday are living proof - one is bottle feeding - very sad about the outcome - bub 6 weeks prem/caesar and bottle fed in nursery (she had planned a home birth)- didnt suck at breast, second mum doing a sterling job of expressing and bottle feeding placenta praevia/ caesar/ surgery afterwards for bleeding infection in wound - amazingly this mum was born at home/ a waterbirth in 74 (New Zealand) and herself breastfed for 3 years so is determined to get baby ontobreast. She is facing further surgery for gallstones in 4 weeks and surgeon has tolde her 95% of women lose their milk after surgery so she might as well not waste het time!!! ARRGGH! Her paed told her in front of hubby that 10 days of BReast milk was enough -after that it was a bonus -this has been really "helpful" to hubby who now doesnt understand why she is torturing herself - bub was being fed S26 in hosp so she has virtually relactated.
It is a gorgeous supportive group and the massage will help with bonding -this is their aim - both are co-sleeping. Neither knew each other before yeserday. What a lot of sadness for women and babies.
