First feeding

Gabriella knows how to eat. 

Because her mom is still recovering and a woman's milk doesn't come in until day three through five, Gabriella was offered a chance to bottle feed this afternoon. She was first offered some collostrum (sort of a pre-milk mixture of goodness from mom). Ella gobbled it down like she had been doing it for months.

Then, Ella was offered the bottle of formula. She ate it, grudgingly. A whole ounce. Looks like she would prefer mom flavor. 

Anyway, the best news out of this is that Ella no longer has a tube going down her mouth and into her stomach. This means she is happier and much more comfortable. It also means we will be taking some photos of our cutipie.

Look for the photos tonight.
