2. Finger Feeding:



Hayley didn't want to eat that first day and ended up in the "Baby Jail" (the Level 2 Nursery). She would latch on but would not suck. We ended up feeding her through a tube every few hours with the hope of her consuming 15 ml, about 3 teaspoons.

We were still finger feeding when we got home. About a day later Grandma had our first success with a bottle. She is still improving and is up to 2 oz.! We are still on the Doc's weight check list. So here's to hoping for a better weight on Valentines' Day!
