Re: How soon should it be before newborns feed?
I would expect them to be latching on by now. Are any of them trying to feed? Have you tried expressing milk from mum? If you can express milk and then pick up a baby and place him/her at the nipple, holding the head gently and running the mouth/nose over the nipple, the smell of the milk should be enough to make them want to try and suckle. You could also give Nutri Drops if you are worried as this will help sustain them until you can get them latched on.
I do hope they start to suckle soon and will be praying that the remainder of the labour goes well.
