This little boy of ours is just so wonderful. More and more I look at him and love him more. He is looking so cute with a real baby face that has filled out and he is just so perfect and magnificent. Today one of his old nurses from Level 3, Joanna, came to look at his photos and asked if she could have one. I was very flattered that with all the babies she looks after she wanted a picture of E (not that I blamer her mind you).
We had an uneventful day – just lay around doing much of the same. The doctors have decided to add Human Milk Fortifier to his feeds so that he puts on extra calories.
We had another attempt at breastfeeding but I don’t think he is ready for it yet. It will happen when it is meant to.

We to-ed and fro-ed with breastfeeding for about eight weeks, I think. Sophia was on the bloody CPAP for so long, and was also on long tube feeds (over 45 mins) for reflux...so finding times where she had no headgear on and was also hungry was rather challenging!
ReplyDeleteBUT once she got the hang of it, she really got the hang of it. I took her home fully breastfed, which was wonderful...
