Ok, we all (well, lots of us) have a go at the appalling standard of b/f advice offered by health professionals...

So, I happened across the contact details for the Department of Health's Infant Feeding Team (who make the policy on this) and thought I'd post them here in case anyone wants to (ahem) share their experiences.

Thanks Edam the advice I got was bad and conflicting. Unfortunately I only discovered Mumsnet after I gave up BF on advice of midwife (milk didn't come through and none of the MW who came to see me told me there were drugs you could take to help milk supply)
