Thank you for your support, your advice and kind words.
Lil mans breathing is regular. He isnt crying as long if mom lays with him, if she doesnt he will cry, but the hot water bottle gives him comfort at those times and he doesnt cry.
He hasnt nursed at all. He just wont latch on. One thing for sure is "he doesnt like me!" He has enough strength to fight me........he doesnt want the supplements and if I put my finger in his mouth he doesnt latch on, he just fights me.
He is sleeping right now and I am going to leave him alone for a few hours. He needs his rest since its been interrupted all day.
I have been using a syringe with the long tip.. I dont have luck with the nursing bottles either. The nipple doesnt flow right and isnt shaped right like you said. If I give 2 cc's to this guy per the syringe I would say he gets 1cc, from him fighting me and some running out the sides of his mouth.
He does have some strength. He is holding steady at 6 1/2 ozs right now.
The odds are against this Lil guy but he's still in the game!
I just checked him, he is sleeping with mom and breathing quietly.
I sure hope he improves and I know you do too.
Thanks. |
