Anyone fancy writing down some positive/negative contacts with their health professionals re bfing?

Here's the very place...

Separate places for positive and negative. I have a small, pessimistic bet with myself that the latter will be longer than the former...

Thank you, Franny.

I've been neglecting the blog lately and this will inspire me. And outrage me.

I have tried to be balanced

it was a struggle

I'll do it after dinner, so I can have a think, the one that comes to mind was my wonderful mw with DS, however I also had bad experiences with the SCBU nurses and the nurse on HDU after my el cs. But the MW outweighed the rest so please bear that in mind!!!

Lovely, Franny - thank you!

VS, look forward to hearing about the wonderful mw. Sorry about the others though.

Done it.

Bocohohoho · 09/12/2007 16:33

Found an example for each.

Thank you!

The positive ones are lovely, aren't they?

Thankfully the negative stories were ones that we all overcame and were still able to feed our babies.
Unfortunately not everyone is as lucky

Yes, luckily, VS - I reckon had DS2 been my first, I'd have ffed him. That's one of the (many) reasons I think this is so important. Infant nutrition (and future health) shouldn't be dependent on who's on shift that night

Luckily I only saw that HV twice and then moved away and the HV here is really good.

There are some excellent ones out there, Boco - just the mental ones seem the most vocal...! [exasperated]

I'll bump it every hour or so, then you leave it an hour and thank me, deal?

Anyone else?

Can someone clever link me to the breast crawl video please?

(Just realised I sound a bit like a weirdo - I promise I am just an interested breast-feeding mother and not a perv!!)

IMP (ooh, what nice initials!) - click on the link in the first post of this thread - it's to my blog. On the right-hand side, further down the page, is a link to the breastcrawl video. It's a tearjerker!

When I told dh about it last night, he was all, "yaaay! go, baby!" He was such a help keeping me going - I posted on your 'negative' blog Hunker!

Have added my two pence worth.
