I had a dreadful experience with SCBU and breast feeding, but it was 20 years ago so probably things would have improved since then anyway.

you would hope so but my baby is only 2 and i had to fight to breast feed him. x

Will it link onto FB (if that's okay?).

I'm training to be a breastfeeding counsellor and some of my friends might complete it and forward it on if they have experience - could get you some more replies.

Ive filled it in for you hun, my ds (5) was in scbu and i didnt breastfeed in the end because of the lack of support. my dd(3) was breastfed and i now regret not fighting harder to breastfeed my son.

Both my DSs were in SCBU too, 13yr for 8 days as his jaundice didnt want to go.. breast feed him for 6 mths..
and my 10yr old was born 5 weeks early,
Tried breast feeding him but he kept loosing weight and I could only express a tiny amount, they wouldnt let us go home till they were satisfied he was putting his weight back on so I put him on a bottle and gave him a BF last thing at night,
From what I can remember, they did ask wether we intended to BF or FF, but neither was pushed to any extent.
