Bryce's growth has been nearly ideal since we started fortifying his milk. He's up 150 grams (to 6 lb., 12 oz.) over the past five days, and seems much happier. He's a better nurser than bottler, so the first couple days were frustrating, but we eventually discovered that if we use a newborn nipple on his bottles, instead of the preemie nipple we were advised to use, he finishes his bottles in a quarter of the time and doesn't choke any more frequently. So, it seems that the looming specter of re-hospitalization has been banished by a mere 2.5 tsp/day of formula, and I'd say everyone in the Sonnek household is sleeping easier (albeit not enough).
There isn't much else to report, and that's a good thing. I'm back at work, so my time is ridiculously over-committed, but I'll post the latest updates (and pictures!) when life permits. Print this post
HOMERUN!!! Many thanks for the best of news.
ReplyDeleteNow try to get some sleep. Life will go on and hopefully be much easier.
You can see a difference in his face already. Great pic!
Love you!
