South Nassau - breastfeeding vs formula?

Hi! I'm in the first trimester for baby #3 and looking into delivering at South Nassau Hospital (previous kiddos were born in Manhattan-NYU, but I don't want to risk the commute this time!)
Curious to know if anyone has had experience requesting that their baby be exclusively breast fed after delivery? Seems that South Nassau has a high percentage of babies who are supplemented with formula, so wondering if anyone has had trouble requesting no formula, or if they are generally respectful of your individual choice and/or doctor recommendation. Definitely not intending to judge any particular route just curious about the feasibility of requesting no formula at South Nassau in particular. Thanks for any info!

  • I delivered at South Nassau in April and exclusively breastfed. I never felt pressured to use formula at all. Just let the nurses know what you want and they seem to follow it.
