One of my preemie twins is in the process of latching. She's doing well on b/m through feeding tube and showing signs of wanting to latch.
I can't be there 24/7 as much as I'd like to be i.e night feeds etc.
I'm worried about when the time comes when she's feeding from the breast and I'm not there when she's hungry. Would the nurses introduce bottles? Can I say no to this? I really want to avoid bottles completely. If I can, how will she be fed, by tube?
I'm clueless and hesitant to bring it up with the nurses in case they look at me like I'm silly for even thinking of not doing bottles...
So, yeah. That really.
