The theory about Prince A being too worn out to breastfeed seems to have been accurate. The tube fed him all night and he did much better breastfeeding. I never thought I would actually be happy to hear a baby cry. He ate 19ccs, which is just short of half of what they want him to be eating, before he fell asleep again. I think the prolactin was getting to us both; I just wanted to lie down and go to sleep while he nursed! He got the rest of his milk through the tube. His nurse thought maybe trying to breastfeed or bottlefeed every other meal might work out, and said she would recommend it to his dr.
My grammy and granddad came down from Kansas City to see Prince A, so I took them in to see him, and then we (minus King J and D) went to eat at Applebee's.
Momma took too long with getting Prince A his milk
He looks so much more alert, doesn't he?
(it's hard to take a picture over your own shoulder..)
And here's some new Prince J pictures:
