Hospital meals for myself as breastfeeding but I’m not breastfeeding the patient. I’m feeding his younger brother.

[SilkClayFlowers]

My ds aged5 is currently in hospital with asthma and as they’ve seen me feeding his little brother and expressing they’ve been kind enough to give me meals too. Most of the time I’ve decined because I’m à woman of strong morals and -the sandwiches are of the lukewarm corned beef variety- .

My understanding is that you are fed if you are providing the patient with their food (breast milk) so it doesn’t sit comfortably. If baby ds was the patient I’d happily accept them.

I’m interested in others opinions of this?

let them feed you op

At Birmingham children's hospital and staying with a child they will feed you if you're pregnant, breast feeding or diabetic. I didn't know this and when my son was in when I was 27 weeks pregnant I didn't want to leave him in case the doctor came and ended up really dizzy from not eating. As I left they asked if I was pregnant and I said yes and they said I should have said so I could have had food and drinks!
