Feeding Time!
Olivia had some difficulties feeding because her mouth is so small, and therefore her latch wasn’t great no matter how far she was put onto Kathy’s nipple. Fortunately we managed to get her to open her mouth much wider today.
She was eating 20mL every 2 hours around the clock, and all of the sudden she got fussy last night. She wouldn’t stop wimpering a few minutes after we had fed her. She went from just wanting 20mL to 60mL overnight! She’s an eating machine now. Fortunately Kathy can pump over 100mL at a time now, which is a good indication that the baby could nipple feed more than that. Pumping is supposed to be about 75% as effective as the baby’s mouth.
The seedy shits have started as well. I’ve since started calling it poop in front of the baby and scold her mom when she uses the old word that we used just a few days ago. So, peeing, pooping, eating, sleeping… she does it all.
Anyway, we have started ironing out some of the wrinkles and had a few minutes to enjoy ourselves. I made a clip last night in the early AM for you to enjoy.
