Hi everyone, I'm sorry to post about what probably seems trivial compared to what alot of you have gone through, but I need some advice.

My Nicholas was born at 35 weeks after I went into spontaneous labour. He has done amazingly well from the minute he arrived. We are BFing, and he is now only having a comp feed 2-3 times a day, instead of after every feed. Sometimes he even refuses it YAY! He is actually feeding really well almost all of the time, but I do have to undress him for feeds to keep him awake. He is getting better at staying awake (my EDD was this Saturday) but on some of the occasions that I have left him dressed he struggles to feed as well.

I am happy to undress him each time, except that it really disturbs him, he hates it. And I hate to do it to him when he's had a really nice feed and fallen asleep!

So.....did any of you have to do this, and if so, for how long? I know it's not a big deal, but I don't have anyone else to ask. Because he's doing so well, everyone forgets that he was prem and assumes that he's just like a 'normal' baby.

Oh, and also, how long does it take them to get rid of the mucous in their head? We've had a couple of scary episodes lately, I really hate it..........
