Family Forum / Pregnancy / Breastfeeding / April 2005

Well just for those that are interested ....

My wife had her op. I tried my best to get Lucy to take a bottle but she
just wasn't having it. So - she had a whopping 6 hour gap between her feed
until my wife was back from surgery and felt well enough to BF.

I must have done about 50 miles in the car trying to keep Lucy asleep and
chilled ;-)

We started breast feeding straight away, at 1400 hours, and she seemed to be
fine. Later that evening our nurse popped in to say that the Anaesthetist
had rung say to he'd spoken to the Gynae team and the obstetrician, and that
it was now ok to start breast feeding again ... it was 2300 :-)

We had a giggle seeing that Lucy had been feeding for the last 9 hours - and
no probs

Thanks for those that helped :-)
