TK, I'm so sorry hunny. Unfortunately the nurses, like us, are only human and have bad days too Not defending her, just putting it into perspective.
If Caitlin is in an open cot there is no reason why you cant cuddle her when you want.... if you were up on the ward you'd be able to, if you were at home you'd be able to, so you CAN when in there too! Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself and remind them that she is YOUR daughter and you WILL cuddle her when you want to!
If she's in an isolette, then it's a little different, but the same still applies. She is YOUR daughter, they have to respect that too!

Also, even though she has limited suck reflex, when they are tube feeding you can also stick her on the boob, that will not only help with her making the connection between sucking and full tummy, but it will also help your supply. I used to give a breast suckle before a tube feed.

All the best hun.

Well, both my boys are sick again Brendan has only just got over a throat infection and both ears too He had a hearing test yuesterday and he is slowly improving, but still not very good He can hear, but his perception of where the sound is coming from is really bad, he also has fluid in both ears Poor bugger can't catch a break.
