Pedialyte Trial - Day 2 (Friday 12/5/08)

Weight 7.140 kg (15 lbs, 11.8 oz)
Oral Intake 12 oz.

Well Sofie certainly woke up well hydrated - in a wet bed. I think her weight today is more of a reflection of her hydration status than a true weight, but hey, I'll take it. She took 5 bottles again today, anywhere from 1 1/2 to 4 hours apart, and took 1 oz to 4 oz from each one.

Today was basically the same as yesterday. She seems to only want to take a bottle after she's done playing and is getting ready for a nap. She takes the bottle and pulls it to her mouth when she's sleepy and then falls asleep when she's done. She is still gagging occasionally when she's getting started with her bottles. She'll pull the bottle into her mouth and suck a few times and then gag. I'll take the bottle out for a few seconds, and she just keeps trying until she can get going. Usually once she gets going with it, she doesn't gag anymore. The gagging is part of her oral aversion, and she's been doing it for quite a while, maybe a couple of months. It seems to be happening less often over the last few weeks than before, as she's been getting better and better with the bottle. Hoping for continued improvement over the next few weeks!
