[quote=Anonymous]I am exactly the person you are looking for. I sent my baby to the nursery because I had a loooong labor after an induction and was exhausted. They kept her for 7 hours and gave formula with my permission. In fact, I was so worried about hypoglycemia we brought formula to the hospital and supplemented immediately from birth until my milk came in on day 3. By 2 months postpartum I was exclusively breastfeeding. We never had any issues whatsoever with latch, milk coming in, supply, etc.

I feel very strongly that the “baby Friendly” hospital initiative is entirely profit driven as is abusive and dangerous to mothers (and thus babies). I also feel that most lactation consultants are really ignorant about formula and combo feeding and push lies like “nipple confusion,” which doesn’t really exist and which discourages mothers from giving newborns sometimes life-saving formula.

I now combo feed by choice for convenience. Do not let anyone convince you there’s only one right way to feed your baby.[/quote]
