Wean today...

So, today is a big day - we are attempting to do a slow wean.  We went to see Dr. Escobar for Jack's NICU follow-up appointment on Tuesday and he thought we needed to do a wean to get Jack off the tube.  We started this morning - pulled the tube and we are going to email him as to what he takes for the day to determine how many days we are off next week.  Please hope for good results so we can continue to increase our tube free days till there is NO MORE TUBE!

Outside of the feeding thing (which is getting slightly better - no gagging or extreme crying anymore - he just now clamps his mouth down and we have to sneak in bites when he is smiling), Jack is doing wonderful - handling tummy time on all fours a little better and he has gone from a sitting position to his tummy a couple times this week.  No crawling yet but it seems close...he likes to do things in his own time...as we all well know.

  1. He always did! Reminds me of his feelings about being suctioned back in the very early days. Thanks for coming to visit me. So nice to see that adorable little baby man.
