Nurse Kate fed Ava from a bottle today! Out of 20cc, she took 5! We will slowly feed her more from the bottle since she needs to feed from it at every feeding to be able to go home.

Today Ava took 15 of 20cc from Nurse Hermine! She would've taken it all but Hermine didn't want to put the multi-vitamin in the bottle b/c Ava would have been able to taste it. Some of the nurses also overheard the doctor telling the residents that "this is what a 23-weeker should look like" because she was fiesty and kicking! They also heard her say Ava "is the best 23-weeker she's had"!!!

We started nuzzling today and when she found the breast she went for it! Later we actually let her feed from the breast and she did pretty good! She would go and then stop and then go again! She did this 3 or 4 times! Today she "nippled" 4 times which is the max she's allowed right now.
