Dory, if only that was the views of all midwives "sighs" however the sad thing is as a mother i have spoken to so many other new mums and second,third time mums and the 1st thing they mention is breastfeeding and the turmoil it caused them. I remember actually tearing the breastfeeding pages from my file because i had such a bad experience first time round. I feel maybe more tolerance, empathy and choice between breast and bottle along with some education would help
