Last night I got to give Jaxon his first bottle! He did such a great job too. His feedings have increased to 34mL and he took 25mL via bottle before getting tired. But it was great just being able to feed my little boy.
He has been getting all of his feedings via a feeding tube, and once he is able to take all his feedings by bottle or breast he'll be another step closer to coming home.
Additional Note: Tonight we learned that Jax took his morning feeding totally by bottle. All 34mLs!! Jax and I also tried breastfeeding again. He is does pretty good finding where his mouth needs to be, but he doesn't have the sucking thing down yet. I can tell breastfeeding is going to be a challenge, but I'm sticking with it.
