*bang*  *bang*  *bang*  *bang*

Friend of mine, ardent and informed lactavist, gave birth yesterday at 
my local hospital in Bedford, UK.  Darling little baby girl, 9lbs 5ozs. 

Went to visit today, and take large quantities of high quality chocolate 
for Mama's Milk Blues and Exhausted Daddy Panic, and to indulge in 
unashamed newborn worship.  Entire ward, lifts, corridors, plastered 
with posters on the need to breastfeed exclusively.

She told me that at 3am this morning, when babbi was tired and fractious 
and crying, midwife popped her head round the curtain and said ""You'll 
have run out of colostrum by now.  Big babies use up the tiny supply 
very quickly and she's hungry as you don't have any left.  Shall I take 
her down to the Nursery and give you a rest?"

Friend declined, and said if she needed help, she'd call.  

Of course, she wouldn't actually call the _staff_ if there was a problem...
