So my 19 week old has bronchiolitis. We were in hospital Tuesday night and Wednesday (released Wednesday afternoon) due to reduced feeding and low sats.
Her feeding this weekend seems to be getting, other than a dream feed last night, she has fed for a maximum of five minutes. I've tried different positions (cradle, football, lying down, sitting facing me and dangle feeding) and she just screams at my boobs. I've managed to get 2oz of expressed milk down her via a bottle, but she usually screams at the bottle.
It's absolutely breaking my heart seeing her like this, I know she's hungry and I offer her a feed whenever I see the feeding cues, and every 1-2 hours (as directed by the hospital) and most of the time she just cries at me.
Does anyone have any ideas or magic suggestions to help her feed better? And please tell me it gets better!
