NICU Update: Day 10
Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 2913 grams (6 lb 6.8 oz) today, up 23 grams (0.8 oz) from yesterday’s weight. I gained an average of 26.7 grams (0.9 oz) per day over the past 3 days. This is a fine weight gain. I’m on the right track.
I was fed 8 times yesterday and I took 45-60 ml at each feeding. I also nursed once. I received a total amount of 427 ml for the day. A fluid oz is about 30 ml so this is about 14.4 oz. Aside from breastfeeding, I nipple fed 98% 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. 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 9 PM.
Farewell Mommy and Daddy. Please sing me a song the next time you visit.
A million hugs,
AveryPS: My nurse said shes’s always happy to talk to you about me.
