I'm back on Lactnet after over a week away. Thanks for the well wishes. Connor is feeding well after a few days of needing finger feeding to wake him up or get him sucking to latch. I used Jack's idea of mixing colostrum with glucose water the first two days. As I don't know how to hand express my wife pumped with 60cc collection containers on the pump. I then pushed some glucose water through the pump into the collection containers to bring out the colostrum which was manly mist and drops the first few times. This worked well, I'll have to use it again if the need arises with a patient.
