First bottle...🍼

Courtney • FTM preterm labor at 25 weeks. DOB 8/19/15 at 32w2d.She was in the NICU for 1m3d. She's now 17 months old!
I called to check on Kailey this morning after I woke up and was informed that they tried to bottle feed her at 5 am and she took the whole thing! Although that huge hurdle has been crossed, I can't help but be sad and feel guilty for not being there. I missed out on my daughter's very first bottle ever....  😢😰

What?!?  That is crazy they didn't call you before or wait till they knew you'd be there!!  I'd be so mad!

Yep... Had another negative experience tonight with a nurse I've had other issues with. I would explain, but I'm still too mad to discuss it right now. Some people are just ridiculous.

Great news for your baby but frustrating for Momma. I think some nurses take for granted how valuable those moments are. Have you considered talking to the charge nurse?

She ended up getting transferred to bigger hospital due to an infection. But before we left the other one, the director of nurses spoke with us and has had meetings with all the nurses ever since. Some of the stuff they did was really unacceptable.
