No tube feedings for 56 hours! (over two days!)
Well, giving up the pump seems to have done something to Charlotte – she has been taking oral feeds via the Haberman now for over two days. And yesterday she even took a bottle at the IL’s house – the first FULL bottle she’s ever taken anywhere but home – I was certainly impressed. We are bonding much better and we are both much happier with this new arrangement. It took my two year old some getting used to Mama not making milk anymore but she seems to be adjusting just fine now too. She sat down to BF’d her baby doll the other day – so at least I’ve impressed something on her during this journey as well. The next goal is to get Charlotte to take regular oral feeds with a regular bottle instead of the Haberman. But for now, I’ll take what I can get!
I know this is a breastfeeding blog but I just wanted to post a quick “epilogue” if you will about what’s going on post-breastfeeding in case any of you were curious.
