Breastfeeding Success!
Truman and Mommy had a date with the lactation consultant this afternoon. Truman did beautifully and our LC said he was doing some great nutritive sucking. We had about a 20 minute session and even burped afterwards -- a very tiny, cute burp.
Afterwards, about halfway through his regular tube feed, he decided to have a couple of big desats. Mommy has a suspicion, as do some of the nurses, that his tummy was just full.

YAY to breastfeeding success! I know, speaking from experience here, that it can sometimes be VERY difficult. I'm so glad it is going well - it is such a rewarding experience for both mommy and baby! (again, speaking from experience here!) Congrats!

Oh, fantastic! Well done. Lots of full-termers have a tough time breastfeeding, so good job Truman! Sorry about the desats ... I know I get tired when I have a full belly, too. :-)
Congratulations on your adorable son and breastfeeding!
Yay, Yay, Yay!!! Best wishes from the mom of a former micropreemie. It sounds like you're doing awesome.
Way to go Truman!!! Your momma is doing such a good job!!!! You just didnt want that old tube after having your momma's good milk, huh?
That is incrediably awesome! It brings tears to my eyes (happiness of course) to hear that he is doing so well. I look forward to the updates of his progress..It wont be long til he's home and life will be somewhat normal.
I just wanted to send my prayers and thought your way. Im am 22 weeks and 2 days pregnant and when I read your story it just filed my heart with warmth!! Your baby is beautiful and I wish nothing but the best to your family. You will continue to stay in my prayers as I will continue to look at your page to see how Truman is doing!
Best Wishes
Erika
