At 36wks your baby *may* not need to stay in SCN. If bub does though, my biggest piece of advice is tell the Dr's, registrars etc they cannot do anything without your consent, unless it is emergency lifesaving treatment.. As Onelittle princess said, breastfeeding is definitely possible, push very hard for skin to skin ASAP, even if bub is too weak to suck, skin to skin will be good for both of you. Establishing breastfeeding can take time and sometimes it is really frustrating because it can be the only thing holding you back from going home.. Try not to let the nurses push you into bottle feeding and try and be there for as many feeding opportunities as you can, so babe can get suckfeeding on you as often as possible. (I waited 4 months to breastfeed, but we are still going ) Bub may have jaundice and be under lights. Umm, trying to think of anything else to tell you... Just be there as much as you can, even if for some reason you can't hold bub, just being there makes so much difference. Feel free to ask me anything else more specific

I hope none of this is neccessary and you have a safe birth with beautiful skin to skin immediately.. Good luck.

ETA: If bub is taken away to SCN, the sooner you can start expressing the better. The LC will probably see you though and they will explain about expressing etc..
