Fed Up ..... and Snuggled Up!
Ian had his first ever bottle feed tonight! Steve was on hand to attempt Ian's first manual feed. Because Ian still doesn't have natural breathe-suck-swallow skills, he will need to learn these basics first before he can successfully feed from a bottle. His first attempt was a good one though it was more of a practice for him than him actually getting much from the bottle! Steve also got to bathe Ian, though Ian asked that his bath-time fun not be captured by photo for publication his blog site! Instead, we show Ian after his feeding attempt snuggled up in his blanket, drifting off to sleep.
