We were so excited tonight when Sofie took her full 5 ounces by bottle!!!!! She hasn't done this since sometime in July. Her full feedings are between 5 and 6 ounces now, so this was the first time in months we haven't had to use the NG at all for a feeding. I hope it wasn't a fluke and she remembers how to do this in a couple of days when we start trying to wean the NG aggressively!!!
Her cold is really getting a lot better. I think it will be completely gone in a couple of days, so we're planning to start her big NG weaning trial on Thursday. I'm nervous, but very excited to really give it a try.
Sofie had a surgery clinic follow up appointment with Dr. S.P. today. He thought she was doing really well and will see her again in mid January unless she starts having problems between now and then.
Since we were already there, we stopped by the OT clinic to see if Laura, our CMH OT, had any cancellations so we could get in to see her earlier. She was able to see us right then, so Sofie had her feeding therapy appointment and we were heading home by 10:20 am. It was so nice to not have to load up again this afternoon and go back. I'm glad Laura could squeeze us in early.

Since I started writing this, I stopped to give Sofie her bedtime bottle and she took 4 ounces! Good girl, Sofie!!

Yay Sofie!! Could you pass along some pointers to Carter on taking the bottle? :)
I am so glad to hear the weaning is working well. Keep up the great work Sofie.
love the new pics on your blog!! what a smile!! i was thinking just now after reading about the ounce intake and thought....cameron never took more than five ounces from a bottle from the time she was 3 months until off the bottle. she was a four ounce baby the majority of the time. and she was a lean machine too. i think some babies just don't want all the volume in one setting. ok, that is my thought for the day.
SUPERSTAR! I know you could do it sweet baby. "NG FREE IN '09" BABY!
Megan,
Her stroller needs that as a bumper sticker! LOL
Congrats Sofie!! What a big accomplishment, keep it up. We can't wait to see pics of an NG free Sofie. Good luck with the weaning tomorrow! You can do it.
WTG with the bottle Sofie. I'm also glad to hear her cold is going away. I always find the toughest part of Wyatt's colds is the weight loss due to diminished appetite and increased vomiting. The up side is once he is feeling better I notice a sharp increase in appetite. Hopefully Sofie will be the same which will be good timing for trying to wean the NG. Good luck to you all!
