Aliyah has been introduced to a bottle and breastfeeding....now we just need to work on endurance. We are not quite at taking a full feeding yet. She did about half a feeding today. The doctor wants her to move to 2 feedings a day, but when Christal went back at 3 pm (6 hrs after the first feeding) she was still too sleep to take a bottle. Hopefully, she will be more attentive at 9:00 p.m. (We need to have another peep talk ;)
She is also having trouble with the a large amount of milk at one time. When feeding, you have to pay attention to what she is doing. If not, she will chock. Overall, she is progressing. She is a 5 pounder now!
I did get a chance to hold her for an extended period of time. The whole time, she was wiggling looking at who knows what. I loved it though! That was the highlight of my weekend. I love you Aliyah.
Below is the checklist of what we have pending prior to our journey home.
God Bless,
