Great news! We might go home tomorrow!!
No more feeding tube for her! She can breastfeed on demand and her jaundice level is low enough. YAY!!

I had small babies and it was hard to wake them up enough to feed them. My husband took a wet washcloth to the bottom of their feet to make them good and mad so they'd breastfeed. Seemed cruel to me, but early, tiny babies are sleepy!! I always pumped just enough to go from pain to discomfort so that it didn't produce more milk. So difficult. Hugs!

These are great tips! Thank you!
Nothing can wake or bother her enough. I've tried the wet cloth on her whole body. Tickling her toes, hands, armpits. Airing her diaper. Rubbing her jaw. One thing maybe is picking her up from under her armpits. But that's disturb the whole nipple shield because she grabs it or kicks it somehow and I leak everywhere. lol
