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!
