Nixon's First Bottle!


Today I got to bottle feed Nixon for the first time. Until now she was getting her feedings through a tube (what the NICU nurses refer to as a gavage feeding), and I was so excited and anxious to be able to interact with her during her feeds!

Hopefully soon we’ll be able to start breastfeeding, but for now I’m happy that she’s getting my milk and she’s been gaining at least an ounce a day. Soon she’ll be a chubby bunny!
