Look who got her NG tube taken out today!?!?!
Collins did so well with breast & bottle feedings yesterday, she didn't even use her NG tube so her nurse took it out this morning! We've had 2 sessions with the hospital's lactation consultants (they are AWESOME!!) & Collins once again surpassed my expectations. She latched on well during our first session yesterday & actually fed for a solid 20 minutes today - what a champ! It's exhausting to keep up with with the every 2-3 hour pumping schedule on top of their every 3 hour feeding schedule, but TOTALLY worth it!
Casen has been able to hold & digest the majority of his feedings since yesterday, so they released him from the incubator tonight! If he maintains his own body temperature well & continues to improve with feedings, then he'll get to stay out with sister & begin to try breast/bottle feeds tomorrow.
