the PD said that his x-ray shows everythign normal and they turn back to feeding him with milk yesterday, today they started to bottle feed him with my breast milk but it seems that he is not consuming it smoothly, he just took 20ml before falling asleep halfway through the feed.. in the end they have to feed him through the tube again to make sure that he is full before he gets angry again because of empty stomach later on.. i am worried... as patsy told me before that some babies do not want to take defrosted milk and now all my breast milk are frozen and brought to hospital for his consumption, not too sure if he is rejecting my milk or if he is just too lazy to suckle or too tired to be fed.. the PD said that he cannot be relying on the tube feeding too long as he needs to be trained and taught how to suckle, latch on or bottle feed, so they will keep him in the ICU again today and try him for bottle feed again before sending him to the general ward tomorrow or day after...
so far so good, cepheus is coping with his recovery well, we really hope we can bring him home real soon! Watch his blog space for a video clip of him making funny noises and faces while asleep!
