Wow thank you for all your comments!
The leaflet is an NHS one. My issue with breastfeeding was not the amount of milk i had i could have supplied an army of babies! It was the pain i was in with every feed and every midwife i saw suggested that she was latched on correctly and she seemed content and full. I managed for a month with expressing as well but the pain never went away. I also had to give top ups in hospital as she had low blood sugars. If i have to do that again or supplement at all is there a formal milk that would be better to use? As if the pressure isn't enough, i am so determined to make it work this time but now feel so guilty if it doesnt!
