I'm exclusively breastfeeding my 13-week old baby, but also suffer from Crohn's disease and am currently very ill, most probably needing to be hospitalised. There's also a looming possibility of having to undergo surgery to remove part of my bowel in due course (possibly emergency)
My husband has been amazing throughout this difficult time but we have two older children (5 and 3) who need looking after, and no family nearby.
I've accepted that baby will probably now have to be bottle fed but I'm too ill to get her onto a bottle (she really resists) and my husband isn't having much luck either. Does anyone know of a service whereby you can employ a maternity nurse/nanny experienced with (relative) newborns to support a family in such a situation while mother goes back into hospital?
