Today was another great day at the CCN. Jake had the hood removed again early this morning, and was still out from under it when we got there to see him tonight.
As an added bonus, we got to disrobe him, help weigh him, give him a sponge bath, and re-clothe him all before holding him for about 30 minutes while he ate.
It was quite a night!
Then, after he was settled in, we found out that he ate an entire bottle (2 ounces) today when the nurse tried it at 3:00! Once he's been bottle fed at least once for a few days, then they try bumping him up to twice a day, and so on until all his feedings are from the bottle.
He's gotten pretty good at sucking on his pacifier while he's being fed through the nose tube. They say this is very good since he can start connecting the motion to the feeling of being full. You can find a video of him sucking while he's being fed below. Click here if you need help with the videos.
