Dear Leigh,
If your bubs needs to be in special care and cannot go straight to you after you wake up they will take a photo or two. Whenever the babies go to NICU or special care they get the baby stabilized and then take some photo's with a polaroid. So when I woke up i was able to see two photo's of my little girl before drifting back off to sleep. As soon as you and baby are both able you will be able to try breast contact. At that gestation your bubs should have a suckling reflex unless there are other complications i reckon you will be fine. I was able to get my DD home fully breast feeding after 6.5 weeks in hospital without ever using a bottle or formula and DD was 10 weeks early.
