Good points to raise here....I wonder if the way forward is to not be so hands on but to show and advise women with a successfully breastfeeding mother. i.e. sit the new mother alongside a mother who has established a good routine and technique. The best way to learn is by example isn't it - but having a midwife pull out their 'bap' to demonstrate on a doll may not be the way to go (hehe)!! Solution could be simply to put mothers in a group situation while in hospital or on a 1 to 1 basis with other mothers able to pass on technique and show new mums how they manage it. Just a suggestion......
