hey guys, this article has got a couple of good figures in it, reported by BLISS.

what does everybody think of this? what are people's experiences of those whose babies' are in the intensive care unit? Do they get the same amount of support?

I, unfortunately, on busy days, have found that NICU mums who are obstertically well do not tend to get as much support, only a quick demonstration of hand expression, and they're often left to work out the breast pump for themselves?! and if they don't get any off, they're often put under pressure by NICU staff or midwives to let their babies' be fed formula.... I don't know whether this is very important to their health etc because of the low blood sugar risk with premmies?

any thoughts? xxxx
