Big Girl Bed

Diana's eating continues to improve and her sucking is getting stronger and her endurance is building. During the night she took all of her bottle for 2 of the feedings and almost all of it for the other feeding. At 11 am she nursed 10 ml and finished all but 5 ml from the bottle. During the 11 am visit, Miranda, her nurse decided to lower her bed flat and get rid of her "bumpers" around her in preperation for her to go home. Before her bed was on an incline and she had a barrier around her to make her feel more secure. They also would rotate her sometimes to sleep on her belly but now it will be all back sleeping. At the 8 pm feeding she nursed 15 ml and the rest from the bottle. Melonie, the night nurse, helped give me pointers on how to feed her and what to do if she was falling asleep or choking. We are proud of our little girl!
