[quote=Anonymous]I just had a baby a couple weeks ago and I was pretty surprised that the hospital didn’t do more to encourage breastfeeding. Maybe it was “obvious” that I was going to breastfeed but, even then, I think there should have been more conversations about it. For example, my kid was in the NICU, so I overheard lots of pretty private conversations with other moms. The two moms next to me were using formula and the doctors were very casual about pumping. One mom said she was going to start pumping “in a couple of days” and nobody ever corrected this mom that the window of opportunity would be closing. Of course, NICU babies could need formula or moms of premies could have trouble establishing supply, but I was shocked that I didn’t hear more conversations about the formula shortage and encouraging breastfeeding. (I think this is more what OP has in mind— women who are choosing right now to not breastfeed, not women who have already made the choice.)[/quote]
