S took 4 bottles!
Pretty good considering that we had a doctors visit and that messed up our schedule. Poor baby got her monthly rsv antibodies shot. Because she's a higher risk baby she gets these. I think she is sore tonite from the shot. I hate to hear her cry so much.
We're putting her to bed now. Well, I'm pumping now. Skipping the last feed. I supplemented the rest of half the feeds today by tube. She took around 80% of the regular amount.

    Hope she has made wonderful progress. : )

  2. thank you for your kind comment on my blog.we almost came home with Willow from the NICU on an Ng tube. and y former foster daughter's aby irl had severe reflux that made her have to be fed by one for a few months.they weaned her to bottles, and eventually to breast, and she is doing great! i am praying your little one also can get to full feedings at the bottle, and then to the breast! i developed an oversupply from the months of pumping for willow, and am still having to pump at night, even though she is fully breastfed now. pumping sucks!! but, you are doing an amazing thing for your baby!! if you decide to go public about your homebirth story you should submit it here-
