Sean Progress

Yesterday the Dr.'s increased Sean's breast milk bottle feeds from 10ml. per feed to 18ml.  They also decreased that same amount in his PICC line for TPN.  He seems to have tolerated the amount well.  I'm still trying to put him to my breast in between feeds and he has latched on.  But he doesn't seem to be too hungry so he takes himself off.  I hope that soon I'll be able to give him full access to my breast and when he's hungry he'll take to me.  I keep reminding myself that although breast feeding is natural, it's not always easy.  It's like a work of art.  Together you & your baby will make a masterpiece.  It just takes time, practice & patience.
