My friend who gave birth last week is having to stay in hospital because her baby has a lung infection. She's been trying to breastfeed and is finding it hard to get him feeding for long as it's painful. She sounds v fed up - particularly as the midwives are making her feel responsible for poor latching and feeding but she's really trying her hardest at a stressy time and really wants to breastfeed. They've hinted that she won't be allowed to leave until he starts feeding better even once he is recovered from his lurgy. Does anyone have any suggestions for her? My instinct is that she's finding a hospital environment uncomfortable and I'm wondering if once she leaves, she'll be more relaxed.
