Day 91,
We have success! Ronan breastfed 2 times today and sucked for around 20-30mins per feed!!
Ronan woke up hungry this morning for his 8am feed and did really well, then he woke up at 12pm for his 1pm feed screamingggg and sucked really well again.. It looks like taking the fortifier out of his milk might have done the trick.. The problem is that he wouldn't wake for feeds until now.. He breastfeeds REALLY well however he was always asleep at feed time and was never hungry so lets hope the waking up continues.. They will still be giving him a bottle overnight if he is awake and after 2 days of being off the fortifier they will be giving him bottles in between me not being there each feed so hopefully he quickly learns that he needs to suck for every feed..
He was weighed today and is now 3.9kg! He was taken off the oxygen again today after great stats on his download so they will do another download to see how he handles being completely off the oxygen, only he already had a few desats tonight so we will wait and see the results..
