Suck reflex?
For all you mummy's (esp preemie mummy's...) when did your LO's suck reflex kick in fully? My LO has just hit 34 weeks gestation and we're struggling to get him to suck properly/ effectively/ with any stamina. He's still in NICU and we're working on the bf-ing, he'll latch well, suck for about 15-20 mins before he's tired. He's not overly impressed with the bottle and will barely take half a feed from the bottle (if that) when I'm not there overnight... I'm now going to be spending even longer hours at the hospital (may as well move in) to aim to remove the feeding tube at some point in the next week (as he does not seem to be a bottle man but a boob man)... am so tired! At this point, they're still topping him up with half his requirements per feed via his feeding tube.
Just want an aim... a goal to work towards!
