Woohoo!

Finally my lil boy has taken my breast! Woo hoo I am so happy. It was only for about 5 minutes but I have been trying constantly since the day he was born. As he was 4 weeks prem, he had low blood sugar and would not feed from me so the midwifes insisted I bottle feed at least until his blood sugar returned to normal. Ever since its been getting harder and harder so I was constantly expressing, but tonight I finally got him to latch on! I just had to tell someone!!
