My DS is in special care as is is a premmie (born at 31 weeks 4 days now 36 weeks and 2 days) and I have been working on getting him bottle feeding my breast milk.
He has the odd oxygen desaturation every now and then but this evening at his 6pm feed I was just settling him in for a feed and put the bottle in for less than 30 seconds and he started to desat so I took the bottle out but he got worse and turned blue cos he wasn't breathing. It scared the life out of me and the nurses had to come take him and try to get him going and in the end he needed oxygen waved in front of his nose to get him to pick up.
I was terrified!!!!!!!!!!!! I am still shakey and very much on edge
It was only this morning that the doctor told me they were looking at sending him home within the next 2 weeks but I seriously doubt that will happen now.
He's been taken off bottle feeds for now and only being fed through the nasal gastric tube. I feel like we have gone so well and taken so many steps forward and now taken a massive leap backwards.
I am glad he was in hospital when it happened and not at home but its still been very hard to see it and have to watch my boy now breathing
