Last night Brayden got to try and breastfeed for the first time, and no there are no pictures of that particular event. Yesterday Dr. Nesslein called and told me that because Brayden had been doing so well on his trial off the CPAP that she was going to pull him off of it completely. She said instead he was going to be on a high flow nasal cannula. Basically this is a smaller CPAP but it just uses and oxygen/air mix to give him a little bit of extra pressure. Since he was no longer on the CPAP the doctor said she went to try breastfeeding. It started out pretty good, he latched on and tried nursing but when he did, he apparently got a mouth full of milk and it surprised him. He made the funniest frown when it happened.
He also hit 4lbs last night. He is getting bigger and stronger every day. They said he should be able to go into a big boy bed soon. They are going to try putting him in a bassinet first to see if he can maintain his body temp. Everyday we are getting closer to the door!
