I dont have a picture (yet) of this but I wanted to report the good news! Today the boys had their first bottle. They did great! They ate/drank all 38 ml. So back to the milestones that are important for going home:
a. maintaing body temperature...check!
b. grow.....check!
c. take all 8 feedings orally.....halfway there.
They are on 3 feedings a day from me and one from the bottle. The other 4 are through their ng tubes....and require a lot less effort from the boys. So, we want to pray that the little guys can maintain the stamina to work so hard. Someone descibed it as this:
oral feeding (at first for preemies) is like an adult trying to drink a milkshake from a coffee straw. Wow....yawn!
