They gave her bottles and formula in the hospital (long story) but as soon as we brought her home she latched on immediately and hasn't had a problem ever since. The pediatrician says she is getting all she needs from me with no supplements for now, and we will see what happens in the future by watching her closely. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Let this be an encouragement to all that this can be done and I wish you all the best as I am now experiencing!!! Joy, mommy to three adopted blessings ages 5 and 3, and new preemie (born at 33 weeks)

I am trying not to be disappointed that we have to use the supplementer... hopefully i'll "get over it" soon!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Joy, mommy to three adopted blessings ages 5 and 3, and new preemie (born at 33 weeks)
