Little Miss is still so teeny, she doesn't have much energy for eating. It's hard work coordinating the suck-breathe-swallow movements needed for eating!
Her nurse pals usually offer a bottle before feeding her through the tube in her nose to help her associate eating with that nice sleepy full feeling she gets afterward. Anne sometimes manages to get about 5 ccs down before the other 25 ccs goes through her tube.
But today when mom tried feeding her, she sucked down 7 ccs relatively quickly and fairly energetically! And she seemed to be indicating she was hungry just before feeding time.
Baby steps. Preemie baby steps!
