Comment on NHS-branded baby formula could prevent parents paying too much, watchdog says
OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 5 weeks agoThe important thing about NHS care is that half the midwives are completely insane, and they all contradict each other. They have basically no medical training and are just meant to get someone qualified if anything goes wrong. Instead they go mad with power and use it to bully first time parents into doing what they say.
Our midwife was insistent that if there wasn’t enough breast milk immediately after birth we had to switch to bottlefed. I don’t think you can figure out the official NHS approach based on anything a midwife says.

Just calm down and wait. You don’t actually need massive amounts of milk from start, and it takes time for everything to kick in.
If there’s not enough breastmilk we’d be extinct.
