I tried to nurse her yesterday but I had already pumped so she wasn't too interested. Instead I got to give her her first bottle. (Sorry no picture we'll get one today)
The nurse practitioner reminded me to not get discouraged if she only took a few mL, to remember that this is the first time she is getting something in her mouth.
Well she took all 40 mLbin about a half an hour. And she did it again early this morning for the nurse.
2 feelings by mouth!!!
They adjusted her to 3 feedings a day by mouth and the rest by feeding tube. As she is learning and getting used to it they don't want her to use too many calories eating and then start losing weight.
I'll keep you updated on her progress.
