the answer was no - she hadn't even considered it. baby is 3 days old and her boobs hurt so I thought that perhaps if she thought about feeding the child that may help with being so engorged.
She didn't take offence at the question.
On her behalf someone else is cross..
Surely if a mum was breastfeeding and finding it hard people make suggestions about bottle feeding all the time, I didn't even suggest she should breast feed I was just asking if she had considered it. and once I knew that under no circumstances would she I said no more.. I am not going to try to change her mind, it was just a question.
Sorry ranting on here because have tried to rant at home at Dh and he has walked off.. (quite rightly I should stop ranting now)!!!
Dont expect replies, just feel better now I have got it off my chest.
