Elliott is now 5w1d old (36w2d gestational age). We started practicing bottle/breastfeeding last week and he's starting to make progress. His feeds are currently at 34ml/3h and so far he's been able to tolerate a 20ml bottle. he needs to be able to tolerate all feeds by bottle or breast in order to be discharged so we're getting there.
Another requirement is that he needs to hold his own temp. In order to do that, he needed to get transferred out of his isolette and that happened today! see pic:
He's been steadily gaining weight and is now 4lbs2.3oz! A far cry from the 2lbs7oz he was when he was born.
We still have a little to go but wanted to share some of his progress. We're hoping he comes home soon but taking it day by day.

It's only a matter of time now before hes eating like a champ and home with you - FINALLY! Hopefully you're feeling good and recovering well G!
