I spoke to the LC and she was fantastic, she was the LC I saw in the hospital and she is just wonderful. She was very honest, it will take probably a couple of weeks to even get a few drops.....harsh but the truth! Which is what I need, I don't wanna be unrealistic. And if it happens sooner that's a bonus. I'm kicking myself I didn't do it sooner though.....
Jake is still ok to go on but he is quickly learning and remembering that he gets nothing from the booby, so he is not happy there for long at all. So at the moment I'm looking to maybe set up a feedline. Until my appointment Friday I just have to keep trying to stimulate as much as possible, even if that means with the pump. He goes ok with a quick suck before a feed but becomes crabby when I don't give up the milk! lol So I've tried giving him some bottle, back on booby, bottle, booby and that worked ok, although I got spewed on a bit!
It's going to be hard, it's going to be so time consuming which I know I'm gonna struggle with having the other kids but I know in the back of my mind if I don't put in a good shot I'll regret it.
