Slow ramp up to self-feeding

After the successful nipple test on Monday, the doc had Kelly try to breast-feed Davis yesterday for one of his feedings. Our little guy suckled for 10 minutes! We’re not sure how much milk he may have gotten, so they supplemented a little formula, but this is more good news. He won’t be able to come home until he’s feeding on his own from either bottle or breast, eight times a day. Small steps forward…

As of his weigh-in Sunday night/Monday morning, Davis was 4 pounds, 3 ounces.
