Jacob had a good day. He was very comfortable and slept a lot. His feeding increased to 30 mLs, which is equivalent to 1 oz! With that, his bowel movements are getting larger too. He didn't have any huge A's and B's while I was at the hospital today (8:30-5:30). For any that he might have had, he pretty much recovered on his own without any stimulation.

Today Nurse Tanya put him to my breast while he was feeding via the gavage. I think it's going to be super difficult! She was really good and I actually felt Jacob suck a few times. She said it'll get easier...I hope so! He continues to nipple (bottle) once each shift. He's working on perfecting this skill. This evening, he was only able to nipple 24 mLs, so they had to gavage the other 6.

I took some really great photos today, but somehow it's not popping onto my desktop to download. I'll try again tomorrow. *sigh* Sorry everyone!
