Day 42

Quiet day

Doctor Headly has said that we might be able to try to go off of optiflow over the weekend of need be, or if not, then we’ll try again on Monday. He has also said that next week, we will move to three hourly feeds. Increasing the time between feeds will encourage Robin to breast feed, and is another step towards adjusting him for home.

Grandma and grandpa Lees stopped in to say hello, when Nicki was dropped of at the hospital. Once they left, Robin had a cuddle with Nicki for a couple of hours. she then washed an weighed him, and attempted breastfeeding again with him. He seems to be thinking hard about it, and is pretty good for a little one.
