Campbell didn’t take all of his feedings overnight (had to take some by tube for all three), but he did gain about half an ounce, which is something. I tried breast feeding today, and he did really well with it – took 50 ounces and then another 15 by bottle, which is more than the 62 he’s supposed to get. And, the lactation consultant suggested feeding him “hind milk,” which comes from the later part of the pumping. It’s richer and has more calories and may make him gain weight better. So we’ll try that and see how he does and whether it helps him gain weight.
He also got some of his two month vaccinations today, and he seems to be doing okay with that.
It’s frustrating for us that he isn’t quite ready to come home, but based on this smile, he doesn’t look frustrated at all… Welcome to parenting, I think. 🙂
