I was induced at 36 weeks due to IUGR and oligohydramnios. My daughter was measuring in the 1st percentile for size and was born weighing 4lbs 3oz. She spent two weeks in the NICU being tube fed and learning to eat from a bottle because breastfeeding was just too much work for her. I've spent the past 4 months pumping around the clock for her and teaching her to breastfeed and I can see that it's finally paying off! She's just about tripled her birth weight and she's breastfeeding like a champ! Here's a head-to-boob ratio for reference ❤️

So to all the preemie mom's with itty bitty little babes, just know that they'll be bigger and thriving before you know it!
