Feels a bit strange posting this as I fed my dd very successfully for 18 months. Due to have db in April and will be having an elective section (no other option). When I had dd (emergency section) I had to have a lot of antibiotics etc for infections. However they wouldnt give me the high strength versions due to the fact I was breastfeeding, so I had a lingering infection for 2 months which was really awful. I am considering not breast feeding this time if I need strong antibiotics to get rid of the infection sooner (am terrified of getting a worse infection). I was wondering what do they do if you choose not to breastfeed which you are in hospital for a couple of days? Do they provide you with bottles etc?
Also, random question but what happens with the milk in your boobs? do you need to express it or does it just dry out?
