Caroline is still having a tough time taking bottles. We have to use her feeding tube for just about every feeding. We are very comfortable using the tube, but it is frustrating that she will not eat that much on her own. I am starting to think that she does not like the formula that supplements her milk. This morning, we tried giving her fresh milk with no formula and she did better. It could have been a fluke. We are going to ask the pediatrician about that at her next appointment on Monday.
I am really excited to see how much she weighs on Monday. We used to call the NICU every night about 10 pm to see how much weight she gained. I am pretty sure that she is over 7 pounds and I bet she is getting close to 7 and a half pounds.
Caroline has always been very strong in her upper body. When she was just about 3 pounds, she rolled from her side to back. They said she could do that because she was so light. However, she has rolled over from her stomach to her back a couple of times now. It is not the most controlled roll, but she is doing it. She is a little under 4 months old, but her adjusted age is just 5 or 6 weeks. I caught her doing it this morning on video:

Amazing that she can roll over already!!! She is super strong! I am sure the feedings will come. You guys are doing a great job!
ReplyDeleteRolling already...I'm impressed! That puts Caroline ahead of Levi in that department. He rolled a couple of times a month ago, but hasn't done it since. Though at 5 1/2 months he's already over 20 Lbs, which takes a lot more effort to roll (at least that's what I'm going to keep telling myself).
ReplyDeleteShe sure is a little squiggle worm =) That's the cutest roll over I've seen in a long time. She looks so proud of herself after she did it. Too cute!
