At both hospitals I was at I had wonderful lactation consultants who stopped by hours within the birth. when I had my c-section she stopped by when I wasn't ready to try so we set up a time for her to come back and she did.<br /><br />but we also got a diaper bag with the formula logo on it full of formula and pages of info about it.Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15826906767935455854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6400765061273416127.post-14316943818854072102010-03-03T21:00:51.238-05:002010-03-03T21:00:51.238-05:00I didn't think that using formula was all that...I didn't think that using formula was all that complicated. The directions were right on the can! I received info on both breastfeeding and formula when I was at the hospital, and I know my pediatrician gave me handouts about it. Lynne -- they didn't give you formula samples at the hospital? I got several samples both times, and even our pediatrician gave me free sample size cans when I settled on a brand. <br /><br />I will admit though, that despite all the warnings, I did microwave bottles! If you don't make the milk really hot, and turn it upside down a few times before feeding, it works just fine. <br /><br />I disagree with the study you quoted about how women who bottle-fed did not feel empowered to make decisions about their baby. Maybe some women feel that way, but I can say that I never have -- he's my boy, and I'm going to make the decisions!!!Tabithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11366551503123547472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6400765061273416127.post-88518984041226078232010-03-03T06:38:32.983-05:002010-03-03T06:38:32.983-05:00yeah at the hospital when I said breastfeeding the...yeah at the hospital when I said breastfeeding they checked that and it automatically meant no formula, no info on formula and no pacifiers. which, in one way is good so it didn't impede any progress or momentum i had beginning the breastfeeding. now, i get tons of info from the formula retailers in the mail, daily, for the past 3 years. but even they can vary on their recommendations for formula feedings, portions, etc.Krysten https://www.blogger.com/profile/06155335066974875978noreply@blogger.com
