5 month old ds in hdu, advice please?

[discombobwotsit]

am en route to hdu at specialist hospital, ds hasn't fed since 9 last night, have expressed at 10 am today and will do again once settled at hdu

he is currently stable but don't know what's wrong, they've said i can't feed him yet till they know more, possible respiratory problems too.

he keeps making signs he wants to feed which is awful as i can't respond - what can i do to try and ensure we can carry on bf (providing he is well enough of course)? He has been ebf till now, no formula or solids.

am a total mess after blue light to a+e this morning, feel so helpless at mo - is there anything i can do / should be doing??

That's great news and I'm sure your milk is helping too.
I still remember when dd2 was in hospital she was still feeding at 18months and so was the other baby across from us. Doctor walked in when we were both feeding and said how wonderful extended breast feeding was and how great it is when babies are sick.
Your doing well, keep going x

I am so glad your DS is on the mend and that you got him to hospital on time. How frightening for you all.

I am sure the feeding will be fine. I restarted BF after 8 weeks of not feeding/ expressing a drop so I doubt you'll have any problems.

Delighted to hear that your DS is on the mend!
