Doing well on breast



My wedding rings on her arm two months ago...

My wedding rings on three of her fingers present!





"Mother what are you doing to me?"


Ciara is doing very well again today weighing in at 3lb 1oz. She had lost a couple of ounces but she is now on her way back up. On Monday I breast fed her during one of her three nipple times. She did not do so hot and I don't believe she got much. Then I got to bath her. Bathing her is so wonderful and definitely something you take for granted. When your baby is home you can bath her whenever you want, so I look forward to her bath time. My mom was there during her bath and she enjoyed it as well. After her bath we checked to see if my wedding rings would fit on her arm like before. Well we couldn't even fit four fingers in it! How wonderful to see her progress!

Yesterday I breastfed her again during one of her nipple sessions. This time she did wonderful! She got 15cc from my breast and then drank 12cc from a bottle. She is progressing so well. I am very proud of her. I do believe that we are going to start to let her nipple per ques. So whenever she is routing or sucking during her feeding time they will let her nipple. But we have to be careful that we don't wear her out. If she is sleepy or doesn't look like she wants to eat they will just put the feeding down her tube. Overall Ciara is doing so well. The prayers are definitely working!
