Day 49

Wow! I put on almost 4 ounces in the last two days. I guess this feeding on demand must be working for me. That being said Mom met with the dietitian today and it turns out that I am only in the 5th percentile for weight for my age. I was in the 50th percentile when I was born. Apparently it's normal for babies born as early as I was but it means that I will need to get fortified food even once I get home. Mom and Dad came in and bathed me and fed me tonight. It takes a long time to feed me now because I get so much food and need to burp often. The nurses were telling Mom and Dad that I am a tough kid to burp.
