Guest guest Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Congrats to you and your family! First, it's awesome that you were able to get Jack to full term rather than delivering early due to distended loops of bowel - like us. My daughter Mikayla was delivered at 33 weeks and in the NICU for a month afterwards. They tried gastro gaffen enemas x2, but that wasn't effective so she had surgery the next day. I think we waited for about a week after surgery to feed her. They first used sugar water and then pumped breast milk. They also fortified the breast milk with pregestimil to add calories. Please let me know if you have any questions about this or our NICU days. Good Luck clearing Jack's bowels and please know we're all in his corner. ....hoping for the best today!
