[quote=Anonymous]As I think someone else mentioned, “baby friendly” is a designation that helps the hospitals get more funding when they hit certain metrics. I didn’t mind the required rooming in but the worst part for me were the lactation consultants. Honestly, what happens to make these women so obsessed with forcing nursing on other women? One grabbed my chest without permission while shaking this tiny vial she had on a necklace, explaining to me that the vial represented how little liquid baby actually needed. This was, of course, after I asked for formula. Shockingly, once I finally got the formula, baby was a contented little dream and we happily did combo feeding for the next several months. Every family should be able to pick the right way to feed their baby for them—the “baby friendly” lactation consultants can be downright frightening for new moms. [/quote]
