Well A & C continue to learn to bottle feed. They do better with the nurses who know what they are doing. With us it goes something like this.....they take the bottle for a bit, then choke, then fall asleep...except my husband and I think they are pretending to sleep so we stop feeding them because we choke them everytime. We will get the hang of it soon.
V looks SO good! She had major adema and was bloated mostly In her head and torso...when I saw her this morning I almost cried with happiness...shes so beautiful! That's all I'll say because I'm still afraid to jinx her progress.
Re: A, V, & C
Do you side-lie when you bottle feed? Grayson has to be almost parallel to the floor and tilted all the way on his side for him to take a bottle well. Something about the position helps him pace himself better so he doesn't choke and have bradies.
Fingers still crossed for V!!!

I'm late to reply (visiting the in laws) but I'm so glad to hear things are going well for all three girls!
We had similar bottle feeding issues. It used to make me SO frustrated that she would eat better for the nurses than for us! But eventually we learned and now she breastfeeds and bottlefeeds like a champ!
So glad V is recovering--sending lots more prayers for your beautiful little girl!
