Quinlan had a good night and the night nurse reported that he woke up early for his feeds and was intently rooting and giving feeding cues. The NICU is formalizing their feeding program to respond more to infant cuing rather than sticking to a time schedule. Since Quinlan is transitioning to oral feeds, the nursing staff was hoping to have mom more available for night feeding or permission to try him on a bottle. As both mom and dad would prefer he breast feed, mom will be spending the night again to be available for any and all feedings.
Also, the lactation consultant has asked to video tape a breast feeding session to use for an educational video they are doing to formalize the infant cuing feeding program. The plan is to film us today at 3pm.... Quinlan will be starting his film career early!
