2 months old yesterday and 4 pounds today. We are thrilled! He's "nippling" (taking a bottle) about every other feed at this point and doing it like only Wyatt does, like a champ. While I was feeding him today the nurse was amazed at how well he was doing. And I asked, "Because he's a preemie? A 27 weeker? Because of his respiratory rate?" She simply replied, "Yes!" All of the above. Way to go, grower feeder!
He's taking 36 mLs now, over an ounce at each feeding. He continues to LOVE his pacifier (which is a huge factor in his success with feeding) and often cries if he loses it (which I can swiftly take care of since he's in an open crib!)
Grow, Wyatt, grow! We love you, buddy!
