Stick to your guns.
One of the reaso...Good job. Stick to your guns. <br /><br />One of the reasons why the nurses push the bottling is because it makes the baby happy (a grumpy baby at 2 in the morning who just wants to eat is the worst!) and it's a sign to them that the baby is ready to go home. It's harder to tell if the baby is getting a 'good' feed while breastfeeding, so it leaves a bit more feeling of 'uncertainty' with the staff, which in turn makes it harder for them to tell if your baby is ready to be discharged. If they can just stick a bottle in his mouth and he can eat the whole thing and keep doing this for 24-48 hours then boom...ready to be discharged!<br /><br />I think the SNS may actually work to your advantage in this case. If he can breastfeed AND handle the milk in the SNS then it will be a good sign to them that he's getting enough orally and will increase his chances of having the box marked "can orally feed" ticked off!<br /><br />Good luck.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17587287197734518952noreply@blogger.com
