In some hospitals do they teach how a baby?

Your fascination with women's breasts is unnatural

Women have breasts women don't care about other women having breasts women don't care about looking at other women's during labour

Your questions are so see through as a troll just changing your account constantly

BORING

The only time it might be taught in a group is an ante-natal class, or you can look up videos on

You tube, or get a book on breastfeeding that has illustrations. But I think you have made up your mind to bottle-feed. So make sure you have all the equipment, and go through the instructions with your husband or partner before the birth. The last thing you want when you come home from hospital is a screaming baby while you are figuring how to use the sterilizer and prepare a bottle.

Well first make sure that your choice of hospital has a certified lactation consultant. Normally a woman they will help you, after the baby is born, how to latch on. It may help to do research on youtube and such for video's on latching on as I've seen some.

Now for me I feel better with the idea of pumping my milk. Some times it's hard to tell if the baby is getting enough food but with pumping, or expressing milk.The consultant/nurse will also help with this too and if you ask me much faster. Also it's a good idea to ask what kind of breast pumps they have, the rent-able hospital ones are real good but if you have your own pick for a pump, mines Medela, for the future, is a good choice. Also if you don't want to us the Medela bottles you can express in to a medela container and then switch the milk to a bottle of your choice. I suggest Dr. Brown's Natural Flow or Tommee Tippee Baby Bottles.

And if they let you and your up for it, start the pump going as soon as the baby is born, this can help with delivering the placenta and if you get anything from your pumping this will be your Colostrum which contains antibodies to protect the newborn against disease. This is what the baby will be eating before your milk supple comes in.

I think some times people think of bottle feeding as just formula but I find it easier and if you think about it causes less stress cause this way anyone can feed the baby not just you if your in the bathroom, work, sick, or asleep.

They will assist you with latching if you ask for it. They may come in without you asking for it and offer to teach or show you how to get the baby to latch, but you can always deny it. They will come around and do this individually and most of the time it is a woman. If its not a woman, you can request to have a female.

Why are you embarrassed to have a trained professional handle your breast? You just gave birth, where nurses and doctors saw your private areas.

In my experience the nurses were very helpful and had so many tips and hints that birthing classes turned out to be unnecessary. I liked how they weren't overly sensitive and cut down to the chase. My nusrses physically showed me how to hold the breast and how to massage it to encourage milk flow. Some might find it too intrusive to have someone touching them, but I liked it. It cut out a lot of explaining and there's no beter way to see how it's done than with a demonstration.

If you have a question, ask them and they will show you. But don't be surprised if they are blatant and don't bother with formalities. They are professional after all, and you won't be the first person they would have had to show.

I'm guessing this is your first baby. But most times there is no trouble with getting a baby to "latch on" without help. You can give it a try on your own. Breast feeding is better for you child....please give it a try before you do the bottle feeding.

After I had my daughter the nurse who helped deliver helped me try to breastfeed. She asked before she touched me and she was very helpful although it was not a success. I got frustrated and gave up.

Hi, Fran Man UK and all your other alternate personalities / sock puppets!

Once again you have found an issue that's all in your head.

Please seek professional help for your obvious mental disorder.

If I had to do it I would go for self-taught lessons.
