Your choice: i am sure you have heard all the pros but it is not for you. Make it clear that it is your decision. All the best.

Routine: Hospitals/L&D suites get brownie points for keeping their breastfeeding percentages up. The administration pushes the issue on the staff and they will routinely bring it up. Yes it is your choise, but don't expect to be left completely alone.It is in the Q&A protocol sheets each of the staff you encounter are required to fill out as you check in.Be firm but expect it.
