[quote=Anonymous]I’m so sorry this happened to your friend, OP. I believe the hospital post-party nurses and lactation consultants are very harsh when it comes to breastfeeding. A lot of hospital policies push exclusive nursing - not even just exclusive breastfeeding which can include pumping - at all costs. Some of their “training” materials have leaked onto the Internet on sites like Fed is Best Foundation and the Skeptical OB, and they are abhorrent. At the same time, I’ve met with some out of hospital/private lactation consultants who were quite helpful. So if she wants to breastfeed I’d definitely look outside the hospital. Ask a local moms group for recommendations and emphasize that they need to be gentle and emphasize a “fed is best” mentality for a mom who has suffered previous losses. Huge hugs to you and your friend![/quote]
