Yay! Wonderful news.
That's fantastic :)
I knew things would work out for you, congrats xxx
Yay!!!!!!
I am so proud of YOU!
:clap:
This is great news.
Thanks guys! Even better is that I just fed her again from starving attached without the shield again!!!!!!! XD :confetti:
Im not expecting it to work every feed yet, but I know this is a HUGE step and I'm so happy because I now KNOW she can attach without the shield and feed well!! :D
DH and I are AMAZED she has had no nipple confusion in all this! She's had syringes, nipple shields, fingers, bottles and dummies! :O lol!
Well done to all of you!
Be a bit careful without the shields - if your nipple is coming out distorted (usually house-shaped) then there isn't enough in bubs mouth (usually the bottom bit you can't see needs to go in more), and it can make things sore.
Hope things continue to go really well.
Oh hun. I got very similar comments from my DH.
It took 6 weeks & lots of tears to establish feeding my DS (who was BFed for 23 months!)
And 10 weeks & lots of tears & stress with DD3.
:hug:
Awesome! Well done to both of you! I hope your bf journey continues going strong
Great news!

That's fantastic news hun. I knew you could do it - and you have! Well done hun.

Congratulations and good on you for sticking with it and now you can see the amazing job you hve done!!
:) xx
Well done hun (and llittle miss) I'm so glad everything is going so well :) Your doing an amazing job
Thanks so much guys!! :D in the past couple days, we have only used the shield maybe twice! :D :dance:
And that was because she was so tired that she just didn't have the strength to keep sucking and do the extra work :lol:
But I'm so happy with her, and me! :)
She put on 200g in 5 days, from friday to Wednesday, so she's doing so well! I'm so so SO relieved and happy!! :confetti:
Excellent!! That is a fantastic gain. Well done hun - you have done an awesome job.
After seeing what you have been through with this, hun, I am so proud of your dedication and perserverance! Huge pat on the back for you- well done! :hug:
Hey how's it going now still all good? :)
Thanks for checking on me willow!
Were going excellent! Haven't used a shield in a long time and she hasnt used a bottle either! :)
She's putting on an average of 200g per week, so just over average, but still gives me time to enjoy a small bubba :)
The poor thing has had a UTI and now has some reflux which were treating with some naturopath meds and seeing how that goes before we see a paed as it's not TOO bad yet and would rather not give her harsh meds until we have to.
But she's going so well! I'm so so relieved and proud we got through it! I can't thank you all enough!
