NICU Update: Day 7
Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 2835 grams (6 lb 4.0 oz) today, up 25 grams (0.9 oz) from yesterday’s weight. I gained an average of 46.7 grams (1.6 oz) per day over the past 3 days. I’m gaining so well that the nurses want me to teach some of the other babies how to gain weight.
I was fed 8 times yesterday and I took 50 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 400 ml for the day. A fluid oz is about 30 ml so this is about 13.5 oz. I nipple fed 70% 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. Thank you so much for giving me breastmilk, Mommy. It really helps me!
So long Mommy and Daddy. I am looking forward to your loving touch.
Love,
AveryPS: My nurse said shes’s always happy to talk to you about me.
