Hailey had a pretty good day. Her weight is now 1540 grams, just about 3 lbs, 7 oz. They increased her feeds twice today, once to 18cc's and then up to 21cc's. Originally they said 18cc's was full feeds for her, but now they are saying she needs to be up to 27cc's. This evening she did spit up some of the breastmilk which was a little discouraging because she has been digesting it well up until now. Hopefully it was just a "normal" baby thing to do and not a sign of another "step backwards". Sometimes that can cause her to aspirate into her lungs, but her breathing was normal after so we are praying that it meant none went in there and we can keep the feeds going forward.Also, she pooped at 5am due to glycerin, but not since. It seems she is trying to, but still needs stimulation for right now. Please keep the prayers coming!
