I lived at the hospital pretty much during that time because the image of him having that tube in him just made me sick.

I HATED that freaking thing. I went off on a few of the nurses because they were using the ng tube even after the doctor ordered all feeds to be done by bottle. I ended up staying at the hospital 24/7 until they released her so I could do all of her feedings myself. I'm still mad about it. She ate fine for Aces and me. It made things worse that I gave up nursing to get her home. We worked on that for the next several weeks at home.

She was born 6 weeks premature and spent 13 days in NICU. How early was your son and how long was he in NICU?
