Growing...

Lily continues to grow. She is now 3 lbs. 8 oz (wow - 3 and a half pounds!). She's on just a little bit of oxygen. She receives 34 ml at each feeding. And she has begun trying to take a bottle once a day. The first time Daniel gave her a bottle, she drank 2/3 of her feeding (22 ml) - since then she's only taken about 11 mls -- but she's learning. She's also learning to nurse. It's a bit of a slow process, but she's getting there. little by little...

  1. This is so awesome! I am glad she is doing so well! And I can't believe she 3lb 8oz now....wow she must be a chunk:)
    One of my friends told me with her preemie baby it did take a while for her to learn to breastfeed, she had to feed her by the bottle for a while but then she finally got the hanging of nursing, so hang in there she will get it!
