Hello
My baby is currently in the neonatal intensive care unit with breathing complications and I don't really know what to do with myself. He is heavily sedated and we are not allowed to pick him up although we can now touch him for short periods of time.
We live quite far from the hospital and I don't know how much time I should be spending there. I know it is a silly thing to worry about but when I am there I worry that I am disturbing him and when I am not there I feel so guilty that I am not supporting him. I am expressing so every two hours I need to spend about an hour expressing which makes the day disappear.
What can I do when there to bond with him and how do I balance time with him and time expressing for him?
