so our 26week and 4 day baby girl was born last week wondering how long before others were able to Breast feed and Go Home in know u shouldn't compare I'm just trying to manage my expectations xxx
So my son was born 24+4 , and at around 34weeks I was able to let baby on and see if he could latch etc- it can take a bit of time especially if on oxygen etc, Everytime I went to visit him i would put him on the breast from 34wks just to encourage his skills, I would personally say it's always good to see if baby will take a bottle as in my journey I was adamant it was going to EBF , However my first night rooming in he cluster fed and I got no sleep I was mentally drained , So we opted for combo feed so my partner was able to feed him once we was home etc x
