Charlie - 4lbs, 9oz
Charlie dropped 10g today, so Sue the nutritionist was back on my case again. This time she said, "I don't want you to stop nursing." Apparently she realized part of my meltdown was due to her comments. Instead, the girls breastmilk in bottles or their NG will now not only be fortified by the liquid fortifier to make it 24 calories, but will further be fortified by powder fortifier to make it 27 calories. (Plain breastmilk is 20 calories.) (How do they know that?!)
Charlie dropped off the chart for weight today and Addie is only at the 10th percentile. Charlie needs to pack it on now.
I gave the girls a bottle today at 11AM, because nurse Kelly said they are usually too tired to nurse a full session then, so we should do bottles. After doing it, I realized I REALLY don't want to give bottles personally, because 1. I think it's confusing to the girls, and 2. It's really boring! I'd rather cuddle them as they nurse!
