It's not me, it's a friend who I've been helping/supporting, I've posted about her before.
She had a really difficult birth and was herself in High dependency due to blood loss. She repeatedly asked for help to breastfeed in hospital and was given none, just bottles of formula. When she got home and first saw the midwife, she was told that if her baby hadn't latched by now she never would. She was also not told by the BF clinic that expressing twice a day wasn't enough to maintain her supply.
When baby was 4 weeks old, she was still not latching, almost exclusively FF with a bit (only about 2oz by then) of expressed breastmilk a day.
By 5 weeks her baby was latching, although with a shield only and 4 days later at her weigh in had lost 2oz. The HV was great, not too concerned, just said we'll see what happens next week....
She was giving a 3oz top of formula a day at the start of last week and has now been exclusively breastfeeding for a few days and her baby had gained 10oz in a week at this weigh in!!!! 
She is so happy about this and words can't explain how pleased I am for her!
It also goes to show that it is possible to EBF if you want to even if things seem really dire. [samile]
