Mariah gave Nicholas a bottle last night for the first time. It went okay but Nicholas only drank 3 ml of milk. The nurse said it could've been because he was tired from the bottle earlier that afternoon. It also could've been the supplements they add to his 8 o'clock feeding (that has since been changed). I will give him his bottle tonight and hopefully things will go a little better. I was incorrect on the post about his time he's given on the bottle. It's 15 minutes and not 20 minutes.
Nicholas has also been switched from 30 calorie to 27 calorie formula. He will also be getting 37 ml instead of the 31. The reasoning behind the change is because when Nicholas comes home he will probably be on 20 ml formula and they are slowly going to wean him down. They also still want him to get enough calories so he doesn't lose weight.
Nicholas is still 15" long and now weighs 4lbs3oz.
There is no way this picture wasn't going to get posted : - )
