Day 22- NO BOTTLES

Glitter Words

Wednesday 14th May I went in early this morning to find he had had rough morning breathing and had been suctioned. He was not in the mood to feed at all and wouldn’t wake up. I was disappointed again. Last night when I called the nurse told me they had given Noah a bottle as he was unsettled. I was so shocked and I felt so betrayed who was his mum here them of me! Why didn’t I get a call or asked how what I would like to do. How horrid to hear my son was so upset they couldn’t calm him down. So today I went off my rocket saying I didn’t want him to have a bottle as it is proven to affect his BF ability and I especially didn’t want him to be so upset without them calling me. the nurse agreed and put a note on his file that I want to be contacted any time if he is unsettled and I will If possible come in for a BF. They did apologies and said some mums wouldn’t care but obviously I do they had lots of excuses but I didn’t accept any of them.

I saw the paed today who put up his feeds to 24 ml per 2 hours and hopefully will be on 3 hourly feeds y the end of the week. He had his bicard decreased as had a good weight gain for 40grams last night = 1615grams. He will have bloods done tomorrow and he would like 2x BF a day but since I am not even getting 1 a day I will wait a bit. Feeling very depressed and overwhelmed with the fact I don’t feel like Noah's mum more like a visitor. I saw the Lactation consultant too today about my supply there not too worried but will get some gin for tonight anyway. I am soooo exhausted today!
