[quote=Anonymous]So sorry, op, it’s stressful! For what it’s worth, mine was 34 weeks and 4.5 lbs and had a NICU stay of about 12 days. No oxygen or events but had to learn to eat / take a bottle. They didn’t even really allow me to attempt breastfeeding until the last few days, and I was so thrilled she did learn to suck pretty quickly. She was my third so while there was an age gap, I did sort of know what I was doing. It took a few weeks once we were home to get the hang of it / keep her awake but after that she breastfed almost exclusively to about 6 months. I weaned her at 11 months because she started biting, that little stinker. She’s a week away from turning 1 and is a chunky, 20 lb baby on the verge of walking now. Good luck![/quote]
