Livi was diapering, I was feeding with the eye dropper, then giving them back to Livi and letting them latch on (she does have two teats with some milk). The babies' weights at this time yesterday were:
Cinnamon: 6.9
Cadbury: 8.1
Cupcake: 6.9
This morning's weights are:
Cinnamon: 7.4
Cadbury: 8.5
Cupcake: 7.4
They are latched onto Livi right now...after I finished feeding them, this is what they have been doing so hopefully, her milk will start to come in. I am afraid to let myself be too happy...fear of something else going wrong, but we are on the right track....aren't we??? |
Tammi that sounds like pretty normal weight gain, You're doing great. I hope her milk comes back like my girl's did.
I cannot imagine shipping any of mine of for someone else to raise either, as long as I was able to do it myself. You only have two more weeks before they will be able to eat on their own and as long as momma is still taking care of them in every other way, I think that is best.
Giood Job.
