Jacobs 1st Bottle feeding
Today was a big day for Jacob. Ronda the speech pathologist met with him in the afternoon to see how ready he was to try a bottle for part of his feeds. From the different tests, Jacob was more than ready. The first test was Ronda put her finger on the side of his mouth and his tongue followed it. Second, she put her pinky in his mouth to see how well he was able to suck. Third, she stuck her finger down his throat to see if he would gag. If not, then they wouldn't even offer a bottle. Since Jacob passed all the tests, he was offered 25 cc's of my milk. He took 18 of it with no problem. Then Jacob passed out cold.
