[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am delivering at a so-called "breast friendly" hospital (which I guess is all of them).  This is what i plan to say to the L&D nurses if the pressure me: I just met you; you dont know anything about my life or situation. In 48 hours, maybe sooner, you will be gone from my child's life. It would be silly for me to make a decision that will impact months if not years of my life based on your opinions.

My friend who is an OB says I should say: Thank you for doing your job, I know you are required to provide information on this topic as part of the breast friendly initiative. I have heard what you have to say now I am going to do whats best for me.

My friends speech is better but if i get really pissed, Ill revert to mine. [/quote]

Is this your first baby?

Your L&D nurse doesn’t care what you do. She really doesn’t. She will ask if you want pain meds and it’s not a judgment so much as a clinical question. When your baby is born, most will suggest putting the baby to the breast since that’s pretty common. If you don’t want to, just tell them you’re not planning to breastfeed. It’s extremely personal to you. They actually are just at work.

Maybe try to take things less personally and you’ll have better results.[/quote]
