My littlest man is two weeks old and is back up to his birth weight, he's had a tough couple of weeks after he decided to make an early appearance, learning to feed, contending with my boobies ballooning, a couple of goes on the light beds to help his jaundice, lost count of the heel pricks but he's done really well and is a perfect, alert, strong little guy and I can't thank everyone who has looked after us, helped and supported us enough. The midwives at Wigan Hospital are amazing, from supporting my birth choices during delivery to helping me hand express through the night, letting me see my big boy who was recovering from chicken pox and letting him meet his brother and making it a priority to get us out in time for an important Birthday party and just being extremely caring and kind whatever time of the day or night it was and no matter how busy they were.
The infant feeding team are fantastic, very reassuring and helpful and of course the wonderful support and friendly faces of the breastfeeding,together peer supporters was a welcome boost.
"Excellent patient care"
