Thought you will all appreciate how I feel with this story. My job includes helping babies who are artificially fed and having problems. I was asked to see a 3 day old artificially fed baby yesterday. He had vomited every feed since birth. I watched Mum feed him with a bottle of formula and after 4 mouthfuls he threw it all up, sensible lad. He had swallowed meconium at birth so I suggested to his parents that they might consider breastfeeding him as Mum's milk would be very healing to his stomach. He sailed onto the breast, had a lovely feed. This morning I went to check up on him and he and Mum had already gone home from hospital. He had breastfed all night and not vomited once! Usually if there is a breastfeeding problem everyone says 'give a bottle', it felt so good to reverse that!
