I had a midwife appointment today and I took 19 month old ds with me, he was fidgety so I breastfed him, the midwife wasqquite horrified and said;
- The toddler will steal the baby's milk
-The toddler will get too many calories
-Ds doesn't need breastmilk, I pointed out the WHO guidelines, she seemed unfamiliar with them.
-My breasts will get too big
She was amazed and didn't seem to believe me when I told her I already had colostrum.
I have some questions I'd like to ask about breastfeeding both the baby and toddler but she seems so limited in her knowledgei don't feel I can ask her.
