I wish this would happen in my local hospital. I think i might write to them to see what they say.
A step in the right direction.

Re: mat wards to charge for formula
thats brilliant. i remember writing a post ages ago when i found out dewsbury hospital is suppose to be doing this also next year and the money they save being put into breastfeeding help.
There was a bit on that website that really pissed me off :
OMG what planet are they from? Its all to promote :boob: which unless i've been doing it wrong i thought was free?! So its not about getting mums to pay to feed their baby - its about getting mums to do the right thing and use their own milk which is free!!! But i am also gald to hear that formula will be free for those who cant feed for medical reasons - its not fair to penalise them.
:aww:

Councillor Jean Ashworth, who works as a health care assistant at the Infirmary, said: "It is absolutely appalling that mothers will have to pay to feed their babies. What will happen next? Where will it stop? How long is it before they start making patients pay for food? Everyone, the midwives, junior doctors, consultants, are all up in arms about it. It beggars belief that they are charging babies to feed. It's ridiculous."

wont the mothers have to pay to feed their babies if the choose to ff anyway?? Think how much money mothers will save in the long run if they are motivated into bfing due to financial reasons
I wish the same thing happened in my hospital... but sadly it won't they took lil miss off me and force fed her even though I was successfully bfing.
