Day 7

Long (1hr+) kangaroo cuddle with mum, during which all his stats were very healthy. First family selfie, plus a visit from Granny Suzy and Poppy Roy.

Feeds increased to 5mL every 2 hours.

Dad fed via gavage feed while mum held him.

Whilst being fed, he moved is head around as if looking for a breast to latch on to – even lifting his head up off mum’s chest.

Decreased intravenous (parenteral) nutrients

Mum tried to get a drop of milk into his dummy so he could taste it whilst being fed, but ended up spilling milk over his head instead… oops…

Bradys still happening occasionally almost certainly just too much air.
