Well, I put on another 20g last night, so I am now 1,664g. So I'm getting back to my birthweight slowly but surely. Mummy and daddy have brought in some bottles, so that if I
want to suck when mummy isn't there, the nurses can try bottle feeding me. I am now off the jaundice lights as my bilirubin is back down below 200, so let's hope I won't have to go under them again, and that I can go back into a cot soon. Still no news on whether I've got an infection or not, so the doctor has said I ought to just carry on with the antibiotics for 5 days just in case. I fell asleep on mummy again today rather thatn doing sucking practice, but I've moved to 3 hourly feeds now, so I suspect I'll be getting very hungry and that might spur me on to suck more! I met my other auntie today - Auntie Emma. She is mummy's sister. I haven't met my Uncle Philip yet, as he was at home
looking after my cousin Daniel today, but I hope to meet him soon. Daddy came to see me tonight and I really kicked off well before my feed was due to let them know I was hungry. I was desperate to suck, so daddy and my nurse tried me on a bottle. I managed to suck a few mls from the bottle before falling asleep, as I'd worn myself out crying for food! Silly me.
