We're still in the NICU, still in isolettes, so we'll be here another 2-3-4 weeks. I just started BFing my trio 2 weeks ago and am up to twice a day per baby. They've been doing pretty well, but they still aren't consistently getting 75% of their feeds orally. I wouldn't even call it frequently. You know how it goes.
Yesterday & today, they've been pretty sleepy during the day and aren't doing much at the breast. They don't show great readiness cues before, either. They are, however, acting more alert overnight, the night nurse has said. I want them to continue their oral feeding attempts at the breast rather than the bottle until they move up to the next step. I just wonder if I'm missing their best times to attempt.
I'm trying to figure out if I should be here overnight to BF and go home to get my lil chunk of sleep during the day. WWYD?
