NICU Update: Day 9
Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 2890 grams (6 lb 5.9 oz) today, up 15 grams (0.5 oz) from yesterday’s weight. I gained an average of 40.0 grams (1.4 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 54 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 432 ml (14.6 oz) for the day. I nipple fed 91% of my intake. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I took 29 ml by nipple and I was given 25 ml by tube. My next feeding should be around 9 AM. Keep up the good work Mom — I really appeciate that great breastmilk! I pooped 7 times yesterday, and the last time was around 6 AM.
So long Mommy and Daddy. I want to tell you all about what’s happening here, so come visit me soon.
Love,
AveryPS: My nurse told me to remind you to call anytime you want.
