We finally made it over to the ward so at least I don't have to worry about accommodation now.
Baby Bear ended up having some lines etc taken out over in ICU so we had a go at breastfeeding but he just screamed and wouldn't latch on even though he was hungry. Apparently having the chest drains and pacing wires in can make positioning uncomfortable and make bubs just feel like not feeding so I'll have to keep expressing for the next few days. He's on limited fluids for now anyway. Will keep trying to breastfeed though and the nurses are supportive. Even if he just latches on for a couple of sucks, it will be a good start. He still loves his cuddles.
