DD was meant to be breastfed but got whisked to NICU and formula fed in a majorly understaffed hospital and I never established my milk supply to meet her demands (couldn't get out of bed for 24hrs as catheter in place, had to nag to be shown where the pump was and how to use it for another 24hr until someone finally did, etc etc). The only advice I got was stop giving her formula and bring your supply up that way. My baby was just out of NICU, it felt wrong to play with her life that way.
As I'm preparing for the birth of DC2 I'm getting more and more angry that I got no help or basic info, even when I begged health visitors. Recently I found myself on two threads that ended up turning into breastfeeding/formula debates. I was shocked by how many people were saying they were badly advised to go onto formula feeding with the suggestion they were supported through that, purely because where I am is the total opposite. There's no support round here (unless you're lucky to get someone who goes against the grain) for people who formula feed.
I had breastfeeding info coming out of my ears, but didn't even know why the water had to be a certain temperature for formula. Did you get basic info at least or any help in your area if you formula fed?
