Realistically, how long can a newborn safely go before they have to have their first feed? I got nowhere BFing my two, and the rot set in with both when the midwives insisted that they had to be fed formula after I hadn't got either to latch on at all within the first 12 hours of life. Is that right? When did breastfeeding ladies here first have a successful feed? I'm just curious really.
