What a big day - I tried to feed Max with a bottle today, persevering as I have been told to, and this morning he managed to actually swallow 10ml! It was a very slow process as I didn't want to choke him, but he did really well. He was very tired afterwards, though, and fell into such a deep sleep that his heart rate slowed a little!
In the afternoon we tried the bottle again, and this time he took 25ml! Real sucks and real swallows! Unfortunately, after the rest of his feed was gavaged, we had our first real vomit to add to the fun. Ah well.
Actually he didn't throw up that much, so overall we are happy with today's work. We have been warned that he may have some great days then do nothing for a while, but we will carry on!
