My baby boy was born at 26 weeks back in May. Lots of setbacks at the hospital meant that we didn't get home until September. He came home with an NG tube as he wasn't doing all bottle feeds abs had an uncoordinated swallow. My husband and I worked so hard and his NG tube came out a few weeks after coming home. Feeding him was still an issue but the last month or so you'd never even know he had problems eating. It's down to mine and my husbands hard work alone that he's come this far. Some feeds could take up to an hour and then he'd vomit it ask up anyway! Or he would breath hold during a feed and we would think he'd choked.
So why oh why does my DM think that she's the feeding expert?! No reason to this post other than to complain - we spent the afternoon at my parents the other day and every time we fed him she had a comment, even going to grab him off me or my husband if he got fussy during a feed. Don't really need advice as I put her to rights when she put her hands around him while I was burping him but does anyone else have people like this in their life?
I know it comes only from a place of love and wanting to help but we don't get stressed or upset if he's fussy!
