I am epxecting nos 2 in sep & will almost certainly still be bfeeding ds1- who will be then 11 months old. I have had several run ins with HV as the local ones seem to know very little about bfing & have come across as very keen to get mums to stop asap rather than pushing it.
I know that I will be greeted with distain by the HV when I explain that I am tandem feeding & wondered if anyone has any useful advice on the matter. I am getting slowly worked up by the thought of having to explain myself to them while they look at me as if I am a moron I thought about just declining to see them but have been told if I do that then social services will be involved- am really not sure that this advice is correct though & have yet to look into it.
Any advice on how to deal with HV doubters ( & MIL too!!) would be very welcome.
