Nicholas' feeding last night with Mariah went well. Nicholas took 28 ml out of 37 ml total. He went from 3 ml during the first feeding from Mariah to 28 ml in 2 days. Mariah tried giving his bottle while he was sitting up on her lap and it worked much better. Nicholas' nurse suggested that.
The only down side to Nicholas getting his bottle is that he gets a little more tired than he used to but that is to be expected. His lungs still aren't 100% and he's taking a bottle earlier than most preemies do. Nicholas had a couple of spells today but his nurse put him on his tummy and he did fine. Dr. Cox didn't seem to think it was anything to be concerned about because they are asking Nicholas to do a lot.
Nicholas currently weighs 4lbs4oz.
