Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 5655 grams (12 lb 7.5 oz) today, up 30 grams (1.1 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 43.6 grams (1.5 oz) per day over the past 7 days. How about this weight gain? Aren't you proud of me?
I was fed 7 times yesterday and I took 70-150 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 720 ml for the day. A fluid oz is about 30 ml so this is about 24.3 oz. I nipple fed 74% of my intake. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I took 75 ml by nipple and I was given 25 ml by tube. My next feeding should be around 9 AM. Mommy, you should be proud of yourself for pumping breastmilk for me -- it's just great! Since yesterday morning, I pooped once around 1 AM.
As of 5 AM, I was on a nasal cannula with 50% oxygen.
Adieu Mommy and Daddy. I want to tell you all about what's happening here, so come visit me soon.
A million hugs,
John Michael
PS: John took 70ml at 9PM, 100ml at MN, 90ml at 3AM, and 75ml at 6AM, by bottle. I had to give 25ml down the tube at 6AM to complete his feeding for the night shift. All in all, not too bad! But he did seem more sleepy and gaggy with the bottles than usual, in my opinion.
