Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 5995 grams (13 lb 3.5 oz) today, up 70 grams (2.5 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 52.9 grams (1.9 oz) per day over the past 7 days. My nurse gave me a gold star for my weight gain.
I was fed 8 times yesterday and I took 80-120 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 720 ml (24.3 oz) for the day. I nipple fed 72% of my intake. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I took 67 ml by nipple and I was given 13 ml by tube. My next feeding should be around 9 AM. Thank you so much for giving me breastmilk, Mommy. It really helps me! Since yesterday morning, I pooped once around 3 AM.
As of 6 AM, I was on a nasal cannula with 50% oxygen.
Farewell Mommy and Daddy. Make sure you save my letters to you so that when I am big and strong we will be able to remember my important milestones.
With all my heart,
John Michael
PS: Do you know that you can call and talk to my nurse anytime? (She's busy during the change of shift, but any other time is just fine.)
