A Canterbury mother is questioning why the Christchurch Hospital doesn't provide regular meals for mothers who bottle feed their babies. Claire Sword has been in-and-out of the hospital with her young son, who was born with a heart defect and also contracted viral meningitis in his first months of life. She says because she was bottle feeding Lleyton, the hospital wouldn't give her any meals, apart from a piece of toast for breakfast. The mother of two says just because a mother can't breast-feed doesn't mean they should be treated any differently. "It's a bit of discrimination really because at the end of the day you've got to feed your baby and you need to be fed as well." |
