After TEN days, DD twin has had two massive feeds today. She really has gotten her spark back in the last couple of days and it makes it all the more obvious how ill she was. The last two days she has consented to being cuddled against the boob (skin to skin) or having a nipple in her mouth. So I thought we might be getting close.
This lunchtime I sat down with her in a semi football position and distracted her and played lots and let my nipple sot in her mouth. I squeezed my boob to get some milk and she started drinking, semi latched, more squeezing and on she jumped.
A few sucks and she seemed to remember that this was a good deal. She fed for over 40 minutes and switched sides a few times (she used to be a 5 minute business eater!).
I offered a few more times during the day (in not usual feeding times) and she was not interested. I was a little worry it was a one off. I offered again at
Bedtime and she latched straight on and fed again for over 30 minutes. I'm pretty confident we are back in business! Yay!
