I was treated for appendicitis 21/8/2018 (just realised I didn’t hand in my evaluation). The staff were outstanding. More than anything I was overwhelmed for the support they gave me to enable me to continue breastfeed my little boy as much as possible, who was 4 months. I was given a side room, a cot which went next to my bed & a breast pump when it transpired my infection was too great and I needed stronger medication which was dangerous for my baby. I was informed and made equipped to ensure that my baby was safe and could feed again when safe. All staff made me feel supported with my care and my ability to parent. Thank you especially for the member of staff who also breastfed (had experienced having to pump at work) as I feel she may have contributed to the support I Received. I feel extremely lucky that the staff examined me thoroughly to find out what was wrong with me, they treated me quick and supported me to continue breastfeeding.
