Our baby girl pulled her feeding tube this morning so we gave bottle feeding a go all day. The feeding clinic asked us to go three days where we let her be hungry during the day and feed her through the night through the tube. First hurdle was cake, she didn't have a problem taking her meds by mouth. Then came the milk, the first bottle didn't go so hot, the second she took more, by the third she was breaking previous records and just before bed she sucked down almost an ounce in 3-4 minutes. Total we did 80 ml and need to get to 420 ml. We have two more days and are so hopeful that she can take in all by mouth.
***update: Day two she took an ounce in 3-4 minutes and then decided not to eat the rest of the day so we went back to full feeds in the tube and will try again another time.
