I'm Going To Kick Someone

Ok so even the pediatric attending tells me to let her fuss to get her to wake up and be motivated to eat.

So what happens at 6pm? She ends up with a bottle of my breastmilk. She took about 1/3 of it and the rest is going down by tube. All because the nurse wants to keep her feedings up.

Gareth even stepped in and asked the nurse how come Gabriella wasn't allowed to wake up fully and get hungry and all we got was a half-assed response.

I'd vent more but I have to go pump milk before I explode.

I'm asking them to remove that damned tube tomorrow!

Auds,
You are going to have to put on a bit of perceived bitchyness and TELL them how you want the schedule to be. And TELL your pediatrician who is attending to her care. BE very firm with them! She's NOT a wee little baby who desparetly needs weight. Shes a big girl and won't be harmed by allowing her to get hungry.
Yeah, call La Leche league. I bet they will send someone in to see you!!
