Feeding update

Yesterday went pretty well with nursing Clara.  Since they decided to clip her frenulum on Friday we've stopped using bottles so that we can focus solely on nursing since that's ultimately how we'd like to feed her.  She was still only taking 20-30 ml per feeding yesterday, but at least she was consistent with that volume each time.

She also seems to have a pretty good grasp of day and night.  The last few nights she has slept very well overnight (so well that she wouldn't wake up to eat).  Last night she slept from 11 PM to 7 AM.  And even then the nurse kind of woke her up at 7:00 so she could eat.  

Today they have her back on cue-based eating so we'll just be nursing whenever she wants to eat.  My prayer is that she remains consistent, and even increases, in the volumes that she is taking today.  And since she can't leave the room we'll pretty much be hanging out here feeding her and taking naps when she sleeps...and of course watching the Packers v. Bears game this afternoon!  Nana washed her Packers blanket so she's ready for the big game.
