[quote=Anonymous]I do remember people grabbing my boobs, and I can’t remember whether they asked. I would just make it clear to the nurses that you want permission before anyone touches you, and make sure they write that on the board in the room. That said, you may need help learning to use a pump, which may require a lactation consultant to touch you. Like others have said, “baby friendly” hospitals get funding based on how many people they convince to breastfeed. I was unsure of a feeding plan when my first was born, and I definitely felt some pressure to try breastfeeding. (Which ultimately didn’t work for us.) However, with my second I was more confident, and once I made it clear that I would be using formula, they backed off. There was even formula in the room for me to use. I also was more confident about using the nursery to get some rest.[/quote]
