WTF are you thinking Mumsnet?
This thread platforms an employee of a company which makes and promotes products for bottle feeding.
The answer to lots of the questions above should be to seek personal advice from a trained lactation consultant - the National.Breastfeeding Helpline is free and available on 0300 100 0212
The midwife above saying "oh no I'm not promoting specific products, my role is to help as a midwife" or words to that effect, is disengenuious. She may not be promoting particular products, but she is here to promote the company. The whole thing is a promotion of the company's name.
I know MN is a commercial company but to platform a promotion that skirts so close to being in breech of a law about marketing formula that exists to protect babies is shameful IMO.
