I wish we were all at home, but we still have a few weeks left until that happens.  He's still working on learning how to eat and was just bumped up to 3 bottles/day today.  He's averaging about 30mL per bottle feeding, and is getting 58mL per feeding via the tube.  Today was also his first successful latch and feeding at the breast, without the breast shield.  

 

The only steady progress over the past few days has been his weight. He was averaging about 1-1.5oz per day, but in the last 2 days he's gained 8oz!!

I'm so happy to hear that you and Devereaux are doing so well. I've been thinking about him and wishing him well as he experiences extra-uterine life!

That's great news.   So happy to hear that he is latching on and gaining weight.  Hope you get to bring him home soon.
