[Margaret Pilkington]

Romps don't feel guilty......as you say your GP was insensitive to say the least.......how does he know that your milk had not run out......not all women can breast feed.....and while I support women who feel able to breast feed I feel it is not necessary to heap guilt on those mums who can't (for whatever reason). I have a close relative who had real psychological problems with breast feeding...she chose to bottle feed, but the number of midwives and health visitors that heaped guilt on her for this choice were unbelievable.

I'm sure that babies pick up from the Mum if she is unhappy with breastfeeding.....it isn't something that every mum takes to.

Hope that Emily is better very soon.
