Winona has dropped to 3 lbs, but I expect her to start growing because the doctor started her on breastmilk today. She started with a very small amount - only 4 cc delivered through a feeding tube. She digested it just fine and so will be given a larger amount tomorrow. She has a bit of jaundice and will be tanning herself under a UV light to reduce the bilirubin build-up. Today Ricky and I were able to hold her for the first time! I am pretty sure that she likes us.
The best medicine for a little baby is mama's milk, so I am very happy to report that I have started full time milk production. I got more with every pumping last night.
