Chloe was worn out from a week end of bottle feeds and just never woke up for her 9 AM feed today. She took about half the bottle and it was over! She slept straight through until her noon feed where she took a complete bottle. The doc and speech therapist weren't concerned and both acknowledged that the bottle feeding was strenuous for her. I asked the doctor how long Chloe would stay here after the feed tube was removed and she said they would want to watch (and weigh) Chloe for four days of total bottle feeding. Of course the feed tube will not be removed until she has accomplished 8 bottle feeds a day.
