First try at a bottle. The goal is to get her to take all of her food by mouth, and since mommy is not here at night, the nurse let be the first to try it. She drank about 10 ml. Later a night nurse got her to take an entire feeding with the bottle.
Reiley had a major poo, so the nurse let us give her a bath. We had a lot of fun, and Reiley seemed to like the water. She instantly relaxed when we put her in the little tub.
Reiley is out of her isolet! Yay!! She has been holding her own body temperature for several days now, so she no longer needs the heated bed. This is 1 of the 3 requirements she must meet before she can go home. Her weight is 4lb. 5oz. Also, her feeding tube is out of her mouth. Now it goes though her nose so she can nurse much better. Her gestational age is 34 weeks today.
