woke up for a diaper change. shes about to go get her glucose tested and then ill try to feed her. fingers cross cuz i have been working so hard to try and get her breast fed.She stays super sleepy and has a hard time holding a good latch due to her being so early. i have successfully been able to hamd express colostrum and syringe feed her but its not much. and i have supplemented 1 time with 11 mls of formula. i have been putting her to breast each time and using a pump to try to get my milk faster. i am drinking all the liquids and i am trying so hard not to get discouraged and give up. its just hard cuz she was a c section and shes a premie. it takes longer for breast milk to fully come in on c section moms usually and i only have so much colostrum. 😩😭

Also if they haven’t given you any yet ask for donated breast milk. It took a while for my milk to come in so we supplemented with donated breast milk at first.

Trying to breastfeed a newborn preemie is tough but try not to give up! My daughter was born at 35 weeks and she would also fall asleep very quickly when I tried to feed her. A couple of things that helped were lightly tickling her cheeks or feet to keep her awake while she nursed. Also we had to strip her down to her diaper for every feed. The less warm and cozy she was the less likely she was to stop eating and fall asleep. Congratulations on your daughter. She is beautiful!

thank you so much. im gonna keep trying. its been rough cuz shes so small and was born so soon and then it was a c section on top of that. milk takes a lot longer for c sections than vaginal births do i only have so much colostrum. But i keep hand expressing and trying to pump

Starting TWW. Anyone else?

I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.

leahbeth I'm so sorry :( hopefully your cycle continues and you get another shot next month.

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️

babybump_user I'm so sorry!
babybump_user My heart hurts for you. I would sue the s*** out of those doctors.
babybump_user So sad and heartbreaking. Brought tears to my eyes. No mother should lose her child so young
