Hi Shonaspurtle.
Thank you for your comments, yes, it's a shame the support I received until the final midwife that I met was so poor. I was determined and I looked for help but when it's so hot and your baby is not feeding and the best advise is to keep trying, it's not really good enough. I believe that breast feeding should be promoted but when it fails, surely the most important factor is that the baby is being fed, even if it is not breast milk. Oh well never mind. I'm sure one day I'll stop beating myself up about it!!
