update: well we had one OK feed thismorning! Its hard to say how successful it was but he was on and he was sucking!
I gave him part of his feed of EBM in the bottle and then tried him at my breast.
I used the sheilds because he can latch on a lot easier. My let down was on so milk was flowing.
I had him in just a nappy and singlet
But i really dont think he got too much because i expressed afterwards and still got just as much out.
But the main thing was he was on my breast and he wasnt kicking and screaming!
I had one feed like this about a week ago so they are really few and far between, but one good feed is one less bad feed i suppose isnt it!

My husband is here and he has been trying his best to occupy my older son. everything happens at once in our family my nan passed away last week so i didnt want to call on my mum for extra assistance etc she had enough on her plate. but this Saturday dh is going to a wedding and my mum is minding Nixon for the night, so i will have a goo 24hrs almost of just me and Tyron time.

Barb i should try the skin to skin maybe at a night feed when it is a lot quieter and relaxed. because ive been so buggered ive been getting to bed early and dh has been staying up to do a feed at night so i get a decent sleep before the next.

Christy- wow you've done so well also after all you went through and to be still breast feeding! see its stories like yours that motivates me because it can be done!


I go to the hospital tomorrow so will let you know how that goes once i start using the side line thing.
