We were pretty annoyed by this -- they told us we could breastfeed exclusively also, but our first night in the hospital, they basically made us give him formula. We kept trying to get the nurse to explain things, and she kept simply saying "the baby needs to eat" -- and we're like, we know the baby needs to eat, dumbass. Anyway, after a few days, he lost more weight than he should, so we've had to supplement with formula anyway to be sure he's getting enough, so even when he was breastfeeding, he probably had just as much formula as breast milk anyway.
