I know we said we were going to post once a week , but today was a such big day for us!
Shawnah got to breast feed for the first time with Kandis.
They oxygen was turned down enough for her to try it. She is now on 1.25 liters of oxygen, so she was able to try breastfeeding. It was absolutely amazing. Totally worth pumping for this long.
She did so good too. She latched right on and began sucking without a problem. She worked at it for a good 20 minutes. A wonderful step for Kandis.
They tried Kenedi on the bottle today as well and she did great. She took her whole feeding! She had a couple little choking spits, but otherwise, she did wonderful.
Forgot to mention yesterday, the feeding are down to giving them at specific times, making them want the food and not being constant. Kandis is getting 38 ml over a period of 1/2 hour, every 3 hours. Kenedi is the same schedule, but getting 39 ml.
