also hun another thought, ask to speak to your sons head paed and ask them directly if you should be expressing more. Even if you express more during the day and go back to 3hrly expresses over night. I only expressed every 3 hours, but I only had 1 child. I also found that keeping a diary of times and amounts I expressed as it was a great reminder of how far we had come, great celebration to when you make it your 10ml, 20ml and the party time at 50ml! GL hun.
you guys are amazing thank you! its just that one nurse i just expressed another ml in front of a different SNC nurse and she said im doing great and id make a good jersey cow therefore implying for this stage what im getting is good. The boys arent doing without theres probably 4ml in the fridge and they have just been fed and both still on the IV
AND (i get excited here) the 1ml i just expressed was AFTER both boys had a go at feeding they didnt latch perfectly of course but seemed to pick up what the boob was and how it worked quite quick in fact i went to re adjust and Jackson pulled my boob back like dont take it away! There was only a few little sucks in there from each but its progress
1.7mls wwwooohhoooooo im crying happy tears! To think a week ago I would have laughed at that amount now i know the true value of 0.1ml!! It took me about an hour to get it but i got it! Now to get some sleep before the next expressing session
Hun that is amazing that they are on the breast! Well done. It's fantastic progress, a huge monumental step of progress. They will be booby monsters in no time
yeah i thought so too they didnt really do much on there but its all learning, its all a step forwards.
One question with expressing as ive been told 3 hourly does that mean from the last time i started or finished?
I started expressing the last lot at 11pm finishing just after midnight so next express would be 2am yeh?
