Tube Weaning: Day 7

Day 7 was the best yet.  Auggie continues to drink his rice cereal drink; at times just small sips but other times he pulls the bottle towards him and takes big gulps.  He had a total of 90ml today - I  was very impressed.  His intake of solids has also increased - took about 40ml of sweet potatoes, peas and rice cereal mixed with pureed prunes.  He gagged a bit on a baby mum-mum but recovered pretty quickly.  I've been too worried about sabotaging his eating experience with another vomiting episode that I've tried to stay away from giving him any pieces of anything.  With his limited eating/drinking experience he is still at the level of a 4 month old so I guess we just need to take it slow with the textures. His mood has been pretty good despite the caloric reduction although he does tend to get pretty cranky and needier in the evenings.  All in all though, he's been a real trouper.  Tonight he gets just 40% of his normal calories we'll see if he eats more tomorrow as a result.
