It's been an exciting couple of days! In the midst of her stubbornness (her refusal to eat because she wasn't feeling well), our nurse got Kaylee changed to "ad lib" schedule. Kaylee can now dictate how much she's going to eat and how often. Her only stipulations are that she had to gain weight an she can't eat more often than every three hours or go longer than for between feedings. Gee, what a concept... Let the baby tell us how hungry she is... And how often she's hungry. Now, I know all we know right now is the NICU, but isn't that how feeding a baby in "the real world" is?! :) Friday was another day of real full feeds... And great burps! :) They have laid her crib flat. It was sitting at an incline. So in anticipation of going home they wanted to make sure she doesn't have reflux or problems breathing when her crib is flat. We tried a new nipple today as well... She likes the Dr. Browns bottle. At Babies R Us, we found a wide base nipple. It works much better because she's able to stuff more silicone in her mouth to help create a seal. Now once she starts drinking, there is no stopping her! Now if Kaylee can just prove that she can continue to gain weight, we'll be going home! |
