i recently gave birth to a baby boy, who had to be admitted in to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit immediately afterward, and is still there for a few more days.. Unfortunately, I was not able to breastfeed him in the NICU as I had hoped.. Today, I was finally given the chance.. Since they have been bottle feeding him (my pumped breast milk), he is just not latching on to the nipple... In fact, he hates it and cries and cries! of course, I am not giving up just yet, but in case he just doesn't get into the breastfeeding thing, I'm wondering if bottlefeeding him my breast milk is just as good.. I have a great electric pump and have been pumping every 2 - 3 hrs.. Can I do this indefinitely, or will my milk supply run out if I am only pumping?
