I've developed ventricular tachycardia during pregnancy (i'm 25 weeks at the moment) and having to take beta blockers and other medicine. Doctor has said coming off them is not an option and said I can't breastfeed on the medicine. I'm really fed up about it and all the websites just make it worse. There is tons of advice about breastfeeding but I can't find any for if you can't. Everything emphasises how women should breastfeed as if we all have the choice. And formula milk looks like a complete nightmare especially straight after the birth with the advice that you have to make it fresh every time the baby wants feeding. I was wondering if I might be able to get donor milk and how this might work. Would help to hear from others with similar experiences/ ideas.
