    This whole thing is just so sad. Remember that you need to take care of yourself and get better so you'll be able to care for your baby. Wishing you and baby a speedy recovery and lots of snuggles together soon.

    Hang in there! Don't worry about the milk right now, you're doing great! At this point, a few drops of colostrum is all you are going to get, and that is all baby needs! It takes a few days for your milk to come in, especially when you're a FTM. With my 1st, it took about 3 full days before I felt I was actually pumping a decent flow of something. Stay strong and I hope you get to see your little man soon! Hugs!

    I'm so sorry. Try and stay positive and hopefully you will see him soon. Keep asking and have your DH go find someone who can tell you when you can see him and hold him. Also, definitely get the lactation consultant back in there to help you. Thinking of you (((hugs)))

    Oh malamute :( I'm sorry you're having such a rough time right now. I can't even imagine how you are feeling. Just think that it's only temporary and you'll have your little guy in your arms before you know it. Sending lots of T&P'S for a speedy recovery.

    Sending you all the hugs in the world!!! I know it is really hard but you will be with your son very soon. No parent is perfect, you can only do the best you can. You are going to be an amazing mother!! I just started Zoloft too and I have to up it when the baby comes. It's good you are taking measures now. Give it a few days to kick in.

    Oh hun! I know it's not easy, but you'll make it through!

    Talk to your lactation consultant - a few drops is EXACTLY how much you are supposed to produce right now and that's all baby can handle! His stomach is teeny tiny right now, like the size of a walnut or even smaller. In a week or so your milk will come in and your supplies will go up, as his stomach grows and can handle it.

    You did everything right for your baby and you still are. He knows you love him and you'll be with him soon!

    Also, someone probably mentioned this, but can they not wheel you down in your bed to see him?

    Poor sweetie!! Don't be hard on yourself , youve been through so much!! And you didn't fail, you succeed! You fought and kept baby and yourself alive and soon you will both go home together. I know breing in the hospital stuck must absolutely suck...but you should focus on getting better and staying positive so the sooner you can get out of there and see little one. Hugs!

    None of this is your fault. And just a tiny amount of colostrum is normal in the beginning. Hang in there sweetie!

    How awful. :(  I'm sure I don't understand how complicated it is to move a patient around, but I wish they could wheel your bed to the NICU just for a little while.  Can anyone take video of Andrew and show you?

    Don't give up on your milk.  Have DF lobby for that lactation consultant to come back.  And take heart that the amount of milk that you produce at first is really, really small. 
    Our family is complete!
