Dylan's been doing fairly well this week with feeds, she'll be moving up to 4 ml/hr tomorrow morning. Everything is moving through her quite well which is great, the only thing is that it makes for a cranky, hungry baby. Her stomach is emptying more efficiently a c so it has begun signaling that the little snacks she's getting are delicious but not quite hitting the spot. I haven't been able to get her to nap in the day for longer than ten minutes at a time. Unfortunately it also means I haven't been able to put her down for more than ten minutes at a time. As soon as I motion to stand to place her in the crib, or swing or play mat, she gives me the pouty lip and then breaks into full-blown hysteria. Let me tell you, that pouty lip has somehow been perfected with little practice (she yanked my heartstrings right out, first shot) and it frightens me the power she'll wield as a toddler. Once we hit 5 ml/hr we'll hold the feed for two hours, twice a day and let her have a 10ml bottle (2teaspoons!). Which will be great and horrible all at once. "Here you go, have one lick of your lollipop and then try to forget about it." Can't wait. :/
