Feeding is still the issue. I did not realize that this was going to be quite the process. Doctors say that when cardiac babies have an interruption like surgery, it interrupts the feeding process. On top of the feeding issue, Baby Rebecca has acid reflux and we have to pay extra attention to it because she's considered a cardiac baby. Doctors have tweaked her formula here and there. She is getting my breast milk but they mix it with a fortifier which I just found out is a fancy name for formula!
Baby Rebecca is growing! She now weighs 6 lbs 10oz. (Her birth weight was 6 lbs. 1 oz. but dropped to 5 lbs 7oz.) Everyday she is a little bit more alert and knows our voices. She is so sweet and precious. She looks a lot like Carson when he was a baby.
