Breastfeeding in the NICU

Nursing in the NICUThe day finally comes when the nurse let's you know "how do you feel like trying to feed today?". Try not jumping up and down while cheering (they don't like it).

Pre-Nom

We created "snack passy" when Baby C graduated to the preemie and newborn soothiee passies.

War of the Passy

Most Breastfeeding activists or "lactivists" will tell you that you should not use pacifiers or bottles to avoid nipple confusion. With some babies that is a problem, others... not so much.
The NICU is where you have to throw such "rules" out the window.

Pumping Queen

I hate it too..
When you have a child in the NICU you can feel helpless. Having to ask permission to even touch your child while some stranger changes their diaper.  You have to stand there while someone pokes and prods them. It is a hard thing for anyone to do.. Especially a raw-nerved hormonal, fresh from L and D mom, who has most likely had a c-section to remove her precious sick child from her body.
