you could always pump for her till they allow you to breastfeed her. I know they have to be able to suck before you can start breast feeding. don't be sad hun you'll get to before you know it.😊 I have struggled with breastfeeding since he was born almost 3 months ago my nipples are flat so I need a shield.
have you tried to get an electric pump through your insurance? all you need is a prescription for it from your doctor and you fax it to your insurance. even a cheap one will help you to keep your supply up 😊 oh and if she can't latch right off the bat when you get the chance to breastfeed try a nipples shield they worked for my friend you had twins at 35 weeks. @aregi92310
@bentleyandmommy, lol. I got what you meant. and I didn't know I could get an electronic pump through my insurance, I have medical tho. is it the same?
@aregi92310, yes it's very tiring and I just discovered that he has a fever 😔 I hope the medicine brings it down or I have to take him to his doctor on Monday
@aregi92310, satuday and sunday and I'm not running to urgent care since it isn't too high but he has been throwing up and has a rash that showed up again yesterday after our day out. I think I may just take him in on Monday just to be safe 😰 I feel like a horrible mommy for not noticing he wasn't feeling good.

I wish my baby hadn't been born early. I'd be breast feeding her right now too if she wasn't in N.I.C.U at the moment 😔
