Breakthrough!

Freya has successfully taken 2oz of expressed breast milk from a bottle!!!!!! Yaaaaayyy!!

She fed CONSTANTLY yesterday evening - literally every half an hour and I was getting really tired and stroppy, lol, so I thawed some milk out and let Simon take over the next time she cried!

There was 3oz in the bottle at the start and the first oz was wasted with her chomping on the teat and spitting it out etc. I took her off Sy as he was getting frustrated that he wasn't being the King of making her be able to do it, lol, and as soon as I got the teat back in her mouth she suddenly got a good suck on and guzzled the rest!! As a reward, she was allowed some more boob, lol!!

Such a big step! Think I'll try her every evening now (especially now I have a lovely electric pump and am getting lots of extra milk out!!) and hopefully Freya will be much more confident by next Friday when she's away from me for the first time while Noah has his operation!
