38 Weeks

Archer's speech therapist stopped by to see how he was taking the feedings. She said that he did very well with his bottle but needed more practice at breathing while feeding. He drank 37 ml of his bottle during the day. He will now start taking two bottles a day, twelve hours apart (or whenever he's awake), to help him practice more. He then drank all of his bottle during the night shift. He's back on a 22 calorie fortifier instead of formula. This means that he will be taking in more milk. This may increase reflux issues but decrease tummy troubles as the milk will be thinner. He will also gain weight in smaller increments. Today he weighed 4 pounds 13 ounces.
