Jac was on a roll today.
By mouth feeds today:
3 am - 15 ml (nurse)
6 am - 16 ml (nurse)
9 am - 25 ml (nurse)
Noon - 31 ml - full feed (Mom)
3 pm - 22 ml (Mom)
5 pm (early) - 25 ml (Mom)
9 pm - 4 ml (Mom)
This is amazing. For all of his feeds that I gave him today he was very coordinated and barely had any issues. He had a few splutters when he took a bit too much and couldn't swallow it all.
At the 9 pm he wasn't really into it and had a little brady - he seemed like he wanted to go but he couldn't quite get it together.
A great day! I am staying at the hospital tonight! I feel like we are getting so close to going home I want to be here to help. I have asked the nurse to only wake me if she thinks he wants to eat - but if he is gong to gavage to let me sleep - although I do have to wake up to pump - but that is easier to go back to sleep after. I might as well take advantage of all of the help while I can! If Jac keeps going like he is he will be home very soon!

Awesome report! Be sure to get some sleep before Jac gets home! Be sure to get assistance from the lactation consultant before you leave also so you get started on the right foot (or breast actually!). I am so excited and glad to follow Jac's progress. I keep all of you in my prayers. Much love, Karen Bristing
