newborn birth defect        okay, I had that recipe.  Thanks for sending it again.  Junior hit 4.3 oz this afternoon.  I'm really hopeful!  This is just such great news.  He's going in the right direction plus this afternoon, he was nursing really well.  Of course, the fatty girls would push him out of the way within seconds, but there was one time he was on the nipple for several minutes and when I picked him up to tube feed, he just curled up and went to sleep.  He really didn't need to be fed, but I did feed him----less than earlier.  This has gotten to be a dang science!  lol  If he doesn't get to a point where he can latch on to Mom without intervention for 12 hours, I'm going to be in trouble by Oct. 1.  Will explain later.     |
