Gaining weight over the past few weeks






These pictures were taken sometime around April 22nd ish. I try to take pictures on every visit if it will not disturb him. At this point his weight is over his birth weight of 845 grams. It has taken two week to get to this point so we have passed another milestone. The green soother in his mouth keeps him calm and strengths his muscles to prepare him for breast feeding.

For feedings Sebastian was initially getting his food admitted to him fairly quickly (over a five minute period). This did not work as most of his food would sit in his little tummy. They have since put him on a slow feed that is administered over a one hour period (similar to an IV). He is now in a happy place and is tolerating his feedings much better.
