She came into this world weighing 3 lbs 3oz.
Now she weighs 3 lbs 15 oz. - and it surely shows!
We keep trying to breastfeed, and for the most part are doing ok. However, I have learned it is very tiring for premies. It is very hard for them to latch on, and suck, and swallow, and still breathe all at the same time. So, Scarlet seems to do them separately. She will latch on and then wait - which is very cute. She just sits there and waits for me to push the milk into her mouth (OYE, Child!) Then she will swallow, since she never really had to suck. What has scared us once or twice is when she stops breathing. But, she will learn. This too shall pass... And a few nurses have reassured us that she will breastfeed, it is just a matter of time.
