When we got to the NICU, they had just decided to start feeding her 20mL. The nurse sat with me and coached me on what she called the modified sideline position, tipping the bottle up and down to her cues. She's getting there, but for now, suck, swallow, breathe is a puzzle for her.
She threw up during both feeds we've been here for, but it's never a bad color and she still poops some out so we know she's getting some of it. This also means that we have both now received our parent marks as we both got throw-up on us. She's also spent quite a lot of time awake and looking around. Here's some pictures from today.
