[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, I found the Sibley nurses to be much more pushy about breastfeeding than the LCs. I wanted to breastfeed exclusively (although agree fed is best!) but when my baby was transferred to NICU for jaundice the doctors and nurses insisted I agree to use formula. I really did not want to because I wanted to give breastfeeding a chance and felt bottle and formula feeding would mess up that attempt at latching and bonding (no issues with giving formula at all, it's perfectly fine). Honestly giving the baby formula and bottles did make my subsequent attempts to breastfeed almost impossible but we eventually figured it out and I breastfed. All this is to say that in different scenarios you may come across advocates for and against bf and just stick to your guns and don't be pushed around.[/quote]
