I don't do L&D or NICU but you have to fight sometimes to get the best care to make sure you get the best care ever. Don't be afraid of looking like a bitch. If you want to breastfeed or pump DEMAND it. Nurses can get lazy and it's just easier to use formula and give the binky. You need to stay ontop on them EVERY moment! It's your baby do what you feel is best.<BR/>Best of luck and I hope he comes home soon! And there weren't any serious complications!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693979.post-9793979441494279282007-05-23T14:52:00.000-04:002007-05-23T14:52:00.000-04:002007-05-23T14:52:00.000-04:00It's amazing how different all of our birth experiences are. I'm so impressed and proud of you. Great job!<BR/><BR/>About the mesh boy shorts... I remember thinking in the hospital that they must be one size fits all and for a lot of women they probably aren't shorts at all. <BR/><BR/>And the Bun is beautiful. He does look like an old soul. I hope you all are having a wonderful time getting to know him.TBhttp://soulgardening.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693979.post-1064293311029712772007-05-21T12:36:00.000-04:002007-05-21T12:36:00.000-04:002007-05-21T12:36:00.000-04:00I actually loved those nylon mesh shorts--I couldn't wear any other underwear after my C-section!<BR/><BR/>What is it with having to pull teeth to breastfeed babies in the NICU???? Everybody knows it's the best thing for them! Booby was wonderful to push for the info.; Ty did the same for us. It must be very, very hard to have a baby in a hospital without an advocate.Arabellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09284348393988748820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693979.post-68652070020329883092007-05-21T12:25:00.000-04:002007-05-21T12:25:00.000-04:002007-05-21T12:25:00.000-04:00I'm not surprised you were a little dazed and going with the flow . . .you had just given birth. <BR/><BR/>I second the request for more pictures.Jessfancypants.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693979.post-47648469322779818422007-05-20T16:00:00.000-04:002007-05-20T16:00:00.000-04:002007-05-20T16:00:00.000-04:00I remember the nylon mesh shorts.
