I'm 7+3 weeks with our first so I appreciate it's a way off bit already thinking about it. I definitely want to breastfeed and was wondering what support you get from midwives to establish breastfeeding? Most of the time you're out of hospital the next day so surely that's not enough time to know what you're doing? I suppose the reason Im worrying is that only one of my friends attempting bf and gave up after a couple of weeks, all of my other friends went straight to bottle so I can't expect any guidance from friends. I would hate to end up ff due to lack of knowledge or support and not sure who I would ask about it.
