Trial Breastfeeding

Today I spent almost all day with Jaxon. It was a really good day. Tonight at his 4:30 feeding I got to attempt to breastfeed. He still gets his milk via a feeding tube, but the nurse thought it would be a good idea to let him "tryout" a breast. Now a days, when he gets hungry, he nudges around trying to locate his food, so she thought he'd like this little attempt. It wasn't hard for him either, it was kinda funny because he knew exactly what to do. He even got a little milk out, which should be hard for him because he is so small. Anyway, it was an awesome bonding experience for me! By the end of our time together, he was pooped out! He exerts a lot of energy just trying to eat.
