Hailey is a little over 3 weeks old now. She also weighs 6lb 5.8oz! Yesterday she had a great bottle feed day. She actually took the whole 53cc for me twice!! I am hoping she continues on this upward trend!
Randy and I started doing a few days ago what the NICU calls Kangaroo Care. This is skin to skin contact where she is in her diapers and we are shirtless and she lays on our chest. It is supposed to be stress relieving for parents and baby. And it also helps baby regulate her temperature, increase weight gain, shorten hospital stays, longer periods of sleep, decrease their crying, have longer periods of alertness, and earlier hospital discharge.
