First feeding at home



This was the first time that we are going to feed our baby. Cause when she was still at the hospital the nurses there at NICU are the one's who gave our baby her milk. Her pediatrician reminded us that we need to lift her heads up a little when we are going to feed our baby,cause this will help our baby not choke by the milk, and after she finishes her milk we need to make her burp.
The amount of milk that we are giving her right now is only 1 oz, cause that's the amount the she can tolerate as of now, and we give it to her every 3 hours, so our clock is always set to alarm every 3 hours.

On The Third Day


This picture was taken June 20, 2009, this is the third day from our baby's birth.  As you can see Akisha was already out from the incubator, and her oxygen support was already removed,    thank God for the fast recovery.  Unfortunately her dextrose was still there to support her feeding, according to he pediatrician she still have problems sucking milk out of feeding bottle that's why she still needs the feeding support. 
Our Akisha Denise was very cute in this picture and more active. She starts to feed some milk but she can only tolerate 2cc for every two hours. Its quite very small in amount but the good thing is she already started to feed through a feeding bottle.  And to make sure her health we make sure that she still drinks breast milk from wife, even though our baby is still in the hospital we provide her a supply of breast milk coming from wife every morning and in the afternoon.
