Right. Everyone agrees that there needs to be more support for those women who do want to breastfeed (regardless of the 'politics' of it all, this is about women who want to do it and are let down by the system - I am not starting another breast/bottle debate here ladies!).
So, instead of writing reams of stuff about how support should be better on MN, why not write to your MP?
I've been to the hospital where I had DS and talked to them about their (lamentable) breastfeeding support - they agreed it was poor and said they wanted an infant feeding specialist, fully trained in breastfeeding support, as a paid post in the hospital, but the funding wasn't there. Well, I think that the Government should fund these posts in hospitals.
Will anyone else join me in writing a fax/email to their MP to this effect using the handy Fax Your MP website ?
