Much Better!

Our little one is doing much better today! The saline flushes that we've been doing every so often are really clearing his nose of the milk and he is breathing quietly and without struggling. I really think that since his nose is so much better, nursing has become easier, too. He nursed every two hours all night and was able to stay latched on each time he nursed for the majority of the feeding (in the past, he would latch on for a minute or two, then hop off and we've have to latch on again which was hard for him). I think that we are off to a great start!! Thanks for your prayers!

I just read this update and the post below. What a frightening ordeal, but I'm glad he's doing better!

Thank God! Make sense that he can nurse better with the nose less plugged... would be hard to breathe while nursing otherwise...

Prayers continued!

At first I thought you had titled the post "much butter!" and that maybe you were doing some last minute baking before the fast. Silly me.

In any case, Thank God he is doing better. May god give you the strength to endure the fatigue of you day (and night!)

Wonderful news indeed!

That's wonderful news and I hope he does well on breastfeeding only! Wouldn't it be a relief to ditch the pump!

(Sorry for the micro-comment earlier - I was typing one-handed from an accident.)

I'm glad that things are going better. Hopefully he will be back to himself quickly, learning to be a pro-nurser in the meantime.
