She is off the Vapotherm!!! Wahooo! Seriously, one of the best updates ever!! Her ISO is much more quiet now & it was the best thing ever to come in to such a nice surprise to see the Vapotherm GONE!! She is now on a low flow nasal canula at 1 liter & 21% wahoo for Presley!!
Today was her 2nd & 3rd attempt at breastfeeding and she did excellent!! I fed her at the 2pm feed, and she ate for 12 minutes!! Since I can only breastfeed once a shift so that sweet Presley doesn't get too tired, the next breastfeed was at 11pm and she did amazing again!! It takes her a little bit to get started & keep going since (TMI alert) her mouth is just so tiny that she has a hard time keeping a good latch :)
She is up to 26ml a feed & she is doing great with them. Hardly having any residuals at all. Tomorrow they are thinking of starting to fortify my breastmilk to a 22cal to help her gain weight. Right now she weighs 1410 grams. Yesterday she was 1420, so she lost a tiny bit but they say it's normal for her to loose a little when they start breastfeeding since feeding is exercise & it burns calories.
Our sweet tiny baby girl is making such amazing progress & we are just so proud of her!
