Re: Lack of breastfeeding support?
these are some really sad stories here ladies 
I'd like to think that the support where i am is a little better, i like to take time to explain hand expresion, encourage them to go to the breastfeeding class thats held most mornings on pnw, and get our breastfeeding support lady to come in and give them advice about breastfeeding their little one.
Although, i am ashamed to admit, sometimes the midwives will take on 'more' women if they have NICU mums, as they view them as not needing much support, and in some ways as not a priority.
