I let the nurses give our daughter formula because my milk wasn't coming in. The convinced me to continue giving her formula and I did for the first 10 days of her life because my milk didn't come in for 5 days. I've always regretted it and I've hunted around trying to figure out what to do if it happens with baby #2, but could never get a clear answer. Thank you for writing this! It gives me hope for the next one. It also makes me so so sad that I let those nurses convince me to give her formula when I didn't want it! Thanks again.

Please? And by extended, I mean past two years. Two years is what the WHO recommends, so I don't consider that extended. My first had two little cups of formula in the hospital and I don't regret it. I was badly injured and it hurt just to sit; it took days to figure out how to nurse lying down. My second, on the other hand, nursed just minutes after birth. That's what they should do with every healthy baby (my first was healthy, but they weren't sure after my difficult delivery and I was so drugged up I didn't try to nurse when they brought her back). It just astounded me that he knew exactly what to do, but of course he did! That's how babies survive! Can you do one about extended breastfeeding? Please? And by extended, I mean past two years.

They were trying to get me to finger feed him more than the milk I had pumped but I looked at them and told them that his stomach was only the size of a grape and the nurse walked away. My baby was content and sleeping away. Wow…this is so funny because it actually happened to me in the hospital.

I had a premmie twin that refused to latch ...I am sure it was because he was given a bottle almost the first day or two (alternatively along with nasogastric tube)and 'tape' that obscured his lip movement. He didn't breastfeed till 5 months but I still expressed for that 5 months. His twin brother on the other hand did latch but they kept telling me not to BF so much (or at all)- I was tiring him (at 36-37 wks and 2.9kg - 6lbs8) and they kept us in hospital longer because they declared him a lazy (bottle) feeder. It was overnight when I wasn't there to BF. WE were allowed to leave finally only after 'agreeing' to bottle feed him (EBM) ...I never ever did ! They are still breastfeeding x 2 day at 3 yrs ! .-= Trish´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/QHnl/~3/ovVJkvXbEQQ/i-favourite-things.html" rel="nofollow">I ♥ Favourite things</a> =-. what a wonderful and inspiring story.I learnt a lot from this !
