The Babies Took Their First Bottle!!!

Today marks another milestone in Emmerson, Brody and Logan's life...they took their first feed by bottle. Well, it wasn't their whole feed by any means, but they all did very well. Emmerson took 8 ml, Brody took 5 ml and Logan took 6ml. The speech path was very impressed. Although Emmerson took the most, she had less control over her pacing than the boys did. Logan and Brody would stop sucking if they had too much milk or needed a break to breath. Since they all did so well, the doctor wrote orders to be able to breast feed and bottle feed once a day. The more practice they get the better!
Weight update: Emmerson 1880 grams or 4 lbs. 2oz; Brody 2135 grams or 4lbs. 11oz.; Logan 1600 grams or 3 lbs. 8 oz.
