NICU Visit & Breastfeeding Problems

April 10th (day 2)

It's the first 24 hours after giving birth and today is the day that I need to get up and walk! As painful as it is I am motivated to see Cameron in the NICU so pain or no pain...I'm getting up!

First priority is getting my breast milk flowing and After meeting with the lactation nurse, close contact to my baby is key to getting the process started.

Cameron is so tiny, weighing only 6 pounds and 10 ounces he's a still a beautiful sight! This little man is fighting for his life and I'm determined to get him there with the help of my breast milk.

After my visit I'm equipped with a breast pump and began my pumping journey. Unfortunately it wasn't very successful. I barely was able to get 10ml ..so my fears of not being able to feed him was becoming real.

Luckily the NICU wasn't concerned with feeding him until the following 24 hours. So I had a small window to make this happen.
