NICU Update: Day 6
Happy Friday Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 2810 grams (6 lb 3.1 oz) today, up 55 grams (1.9 oz) from yesterday’s weight. I gained an average of 36.7 grams (1.3 oz) per day over the past 3 days. I’m gaining so well that I’m going to be busting out of here pretty soon!
I was fed 8 times yesterday and I took 50 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 400 ml (13.5 oz) for the day. I nipple fed 67% of my intake. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I took 50 ml by nipple. My next feeding should be around 9 AM. Thanks for the breastmilk Mommy! I love it!
My last bilirubin was 10.8 on 4/13 at 6 AM and my nurse said that was fine. I’m still on phototherapy treatment - there are bright lights all around me but I’ve got a mask over my eyes, so the light doesn’t bother me.
Sayanara Mommy and Daddy. I love when you come. Your visits calm me down and help me sleep better.
Lots of kisses,
AveryPS: My nurse told me to remind you to call anytime you want.
