Friday, July 25. We were surprised and excited when our nurse told us we could try bottle feeding. This seemed like such a huge step in the right direction and we were confident he would do well as the nurses had all been complimenting James on how well he took to sucking on his pacifier. He's a champ, what can we say (proud momma here!).
Daddy got to do the work as I felt I'll have plenty of feeding opportunities and he did a great job. The nurse talked him through it but I think he's a natural.
James is being fed 32 ml per feeding and he took 5 ml from the bottle during this attempt. Seems like a little but the nurse was very pleased as this is hard work and required lots of coordination and energy from the little guy. His second bottle feeding was today, July 27 and he took 10 ml in 1/3 the time! Yay team James!
