celyn,
hooray for you! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
the MIL said with all 3 of hers, no nipple confusion, so happily gave my EBM in a bottle. scared precious grandson starve....
i wait, one time, two times, to monitor C1. and he was really too smart for own good lor, he knew even at 3-4 days old, bottle faster than breast... so day 4, he din wanna latch liao.
that's when i turned on the tap, and MIL backed off.
ferocious me 'roared' (or cried rather) to get my way over breastfeeding. i knew i din wanna bond with the silly pump, i wanted to bond with my bb!
jasda,
just share share only... plan B consists of syringe feeding him (not just pump syringe only wor, but insert finger alongside syringe and only allow milk flow when he sucks, 3ml at a time, syringe until my finger cramp) as well until he went back onto my breast.
of course plan A is bb has no nipple confusion and everything in the bfeedg journey is smooth. who doesnt want plan A?
xlh,
