Just an observation
earlier this year my dd1 was admitted to hospital as an emergency and had her week old baby with her, she was kept in labour ward.
There was no breast pads and as she had been admitted by emergency didn't have any with her - the hospital don't have any and gave her sanitary pads
If anyone has any breast pads left over it might be an idea to take them to the maternity ward as then people without in an emergency would be all hot use them.
This is what dd1 did with hers after 5 months of breast feeding
