...today Nate had his first feeding from a bottle. He gets 8 feeds a day by the tube. Right now 2 of those he can get 1/2 of that feeding by bottle. He did well with his first feeding for Lynn this afternoon and took the bottle again for me this evening. He takes a little while to get interested in the bottle, but once he does, he takes off feeding well. I spoke to the Nurse Practitioner today and if he continue to do well and tolerates increased feedings in volume, he will be well on his way to discharge.
Tonight his weight was 2160 grams or 4 pounds 12 ounces.
More updates to come.
