Catherine

I gave birth to my daughter in April. She was small and stayed in SCBU for a week whilst I was on Sara ward.
All the staff were very caring and the ward was clean and food good but I do think that breastfeeding could be better supported.
I felt that they were too quick to suggest formula feeds rather than more frequent breast feeds when my daughters blood sugar level was low.
I also found that advice was inconsistent and confusing eg some saying I should express at night to build up supply others saying more important to rest.
On a practical note two breast pumps to share for the whole ward is not enough there were always queues. Please could they buy at least enough for one per bay.
