3 days old

Nolan has made great progress. Day 1 he was on oxygen, under a heat lamp, and placed on IV.  he had one episode of sleep apnea, where he did not wake up from falling asleep and his heart stopped.  this is common for that gestational age, the nurses had to wake him up.

then he slowly got taken off the oxygen, it was able to switch from the heat lamp to a regular crib, and started to breastfeed on day 2. He did great with latching on and swallowing.  So they started bottle feeding him when I did not breastfeed.

He is now up to 25 ml of formula per 3 hour feeding.  He drinks most of it.
