My newborn has been in the neonatal unit for 13 days since his birth. He was small at 2.2kg so just needed to keep an eye on his feeding. He got his tube out 4 days ago and has made huge weight gains since until this morning on the day of discharge. He has lost 30grams today. Since tube being out I’ve lived at the unit, but the environment is stressful and makes my milk dry up. The doctors have cleared him to come home but nurses want him here one more night. I told the nurses that’s fine, but as my milk is dried up I’m no use here when he’s just being formula fed through bottle and to call me when he’s discharged because I’m going home. It’s become a huge deal with a counsellor coming involved, no one will look at me now. No one can tell me the risk of going home with baby today, they only want me here so they don’t have to look after their patient as far a I’m concerned. He’s a healthy baby and shouldn’t be here any longer. They are now making me wait for my midwife to speak to me, but no one can still tell me the risk of taking him home at this point. I feel like a bitch like I have hurt everyone’s feelings including my partner, but my partner could easily swap places with me for the night if he was that worried about bubs in hospital considering I’m not producing breast milk here. AITA?
