Maria is really improving her bottle feeds. She began by taking 7cc's. Joe was best at feeding her, and could get Maria to drink up to 12cc's. I was frustrated, because I could only ever get her to take 2-6 cc's.
But, this morning, Maria really took off...she drank 31 cc's!!! That's almost a full feeding! Right now she's taking a bottle twice a day (whenever she's most alert). When she can take 2 full feedings by bottle, she'll be able to nipple more often.
Her cold shocking is going pretty well, also. She's keeping normal temps, although we are really starting to bundle her up with layers of clothes!
Her alert times are now more frequent and last longer, so we've decided to add her 7am care time to our schedule...that makes a whopping 5 trips to the hospital per day. We love it. She really likes to interact!

Great news!
ReplyDeleteI read Joe is "best at feeding her" as Joe is "breastfeeding" her. LOL. That would be something to see!
Man, this little girl is taking off like a rocket. You'll soon have to find ways to keep her from flying off into the stratosphere. She's letting you know that she wants to live life to the full. You're all in for a magnificent ride. Thanks be to God! Gramma Wittgens
