Rebekah seems to be handling the bottle well, although these feedings can last up to 2 hours! She took in 11 ounces today. At each feeding, we first give her expressed breast milk and then let her fill her tummy the rest of the way with formula. So far this system is working quite well. Rebekah seems to enjoy hearing me sing to her as she eats...it's one of the ways I keep my sanity during these long feedings!

I'm happy with Rebekah's health. I'm noticing more wet diapers now, a good sign that she's pretty much over the dehydration. Her mouth is wet, not dry like it had been, and her skin is looking more healthy - it had gotten dry and started flaking a lot.
