NICU Update: Day 8
Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 2875 grams (6 lb 5.4 oz) today, up 40 grams (1.4 oz) from yesterday’s weight. I gained an average of 40.0 grams (1.4 oz) per day over the past 3 days. My nurse gave me a gold star for my weight gain.
I was fed 8 times yesterday and I took 50-54 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 416 ml (14.1 oz) for the day. I nipple fed 81% of my intake. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I took 54 ml by nipple. My next feeding should be around 9 AM. I know it’s a lot of work Mom, but keep on pumping! I’m worth every drop! I pooped 4 times yesterday, and the last time was around 3 AM.
Adieu Mommy and Daddy. Please tell the family that I love them very much and can’t wait until they visit me.
Love, love,
AveryPS: I love when my nurse tells me you called to talk to her. She says you should call anytime (except when she gives her report during shift change).
