[quote=Anonymous]My twins were born at 36 weeks and were released from NICU at 2 weeks old when they could manage to eat enough from a bottle to make it worth the effort it took them to eat. I pumped for a month around the clock and never got more than 1.5 oz in a session. I would get told, “well, babies are more efficient at milk transfer than the pump,” but they were just completely uninterested in latching, and the few times I got them to, they’d conk out after 30 seconds. The LC I saw kind of threw up her hands and said just keep trying, but we were in survival mode and they were already on 75% Neosure, so I called it quits on pumping and nursing attempts when they were a month old. They’re 4 years old, happy and healthy, but I was pragmatic about the whole thing and wasn’t super invested in nursing. [/quote]
