dd was exclusively breastfed to 5 months and breastfed to 10 months. I am firmly commited to breastfeeding dd 2 (now 7 weeks)similarly especially as dd1 has numerous allergies, but would like to give her the occasional bottle of expressed milk to give me some freedom to leave her with dh, my mum etc. dd1 would not take a bottle for ages and I don't want a similar battle with dd2. Attempts so far indicate we are going down the same path..so Im thinking am I missing something about how to do this?... so I try to discuss this with two HVs. Both behave as though I'm suggesting giving her a bottle of wine. I know breastfeeding is the best thing for dd2 but AIBU to think a HV might advise on this?
