But were they willing to *mention* EBM or bf before you
mentioned it?

If not -- how come they bring up the subject of formula, but
leave it to parents to bring up the possibility of bf?
This kind of thing contributes to a general myth
that formula and bottles and pacifiers
and cribs are used by all babies and/or that
although bf exists somewhere in theory, polite
people don't talk about it.

Found this on our ds's nursery website:

Parents will have the facility to store frozen expressed breast milk if
necessary. Formula feeds can be prepared and brought in from home or
prepared by the nursery staff.

So looks like some get it the right way round, although to be honest I
would be seriously surprised if any nursery would *intentionally* try
and advertise formula over bm.
