... she has explained to me that since the midwives will show her how to do it in the hospital, she does not want to find out how to latch or read any info about it beforehand.
She attempted to bf her first child but it did not work out for them. She says that she did not receive enough support in the hospital for it to work.
I know how bad she felt about stopping bfing her first and I would love to support her to make the decision right for her upon the arrival of the new baby because she's a lovely person and close friend. I worry that she may be expecting too much of the midwives etc. purely because, in my experience, they can be very busy and sometimes some prior knowledge of latching, frequent feeding being normal etc. can be useful in these circumstances. I'd love to suggest this to her but I don't want to pressure her or come off as a breastfeeding Nazi. I should just keep my mouth shut shouldn't I?
(please don't flame me - I'm not judging her in any way, just wondering if it would be an appropriate suggestion)
