To those who feel they don't need to apologise...good on you! I mean that...not in a sarcastic way!
Wish I could do the same...maybe one day I will
I do think FF should be supported a bit more by HV's, Midwives etc. I had no clue what to do with regards to bottles, sterilising, actually feeding etc. I only had my Mum to talk to about it, bearing in mind that info is decades out of date!
I know you can look it all up online etc, but there is so much conflicting info. It'd be good if they could just give the basic info. I'm sure a lot of my early FF problems could have been smoothed out if I'd known what the hell I was doing!
If I have another baby, I will give BF another go. But I'll be armed with the true info. Not "ideals" that health professionals give as truth. Just a shame my baby had to be the guinea pig in learning the pro's and (mostly) con's!
Again, I do think breast MILK is best. But the actual feeding? Not always. And if you have no milk, FF is all you've got, so who cares? You're feeding your child, and that's all that matters, really.
