Longest time at breast so far!

Yesterday I didn’t post at all because it was just a bad day all around. Charlotte was extremely fussy and irritable and didn’t want anything to do with me or my breasts. So I decided to let her rest.

Apparently it paid off because this morning she latched on and stayed latched on for nearly an hour. She would nurse on and off and had less of a reaction to getting milk. I set up her g-tube feeding in her room, brought it out into the living room in herĀ on the go pump bag and latched her back on and she actually stayed on. Ended up falling asleep while latched on too! :-) That was a great feeling. Tried to BF’d a little later on but she was just exhausted. Chris said she was up and down most of the night so I’m sure she’s just worn out. I just set up her 3pm tube feed and she didn’t even WAKE UP! So I know she’s exhausted. I will probably try and nurse her this evening after our 2yo has gone to bed. That way I can just take my time with her and Charlotte can have *some* peace and quiet with her nursing!
