I've decided not to breastfeed DD2 when she's born in June for a variety of (well thought out) reasons.
I breastfed DD1 for 4 months, it seemed right at the time but I was exhausted, mastitis, pain......you all know! Anyway - I've had a terrible pregnancy this time, been very ill and am low energy, have no family support around us and I'm in sole charge of a 2.5 yr old - I need as much energy back as possible to cope with 2 of them alone...
Anyway....enough justification - Am I right in that they give you medication after birth to stop the milk flow? and would I need to take a tub of forumla into the hospital and bottles? - obviously I'll ask midwife next week too but just incase she thinks I'm Kerry Katona thought I'd get advice here first!
Thanks
