1 cc

Well feeds didn't go as smoothly as hoped. They had started on 3 cc's an hour continual feed thru the feeding tube. To give you an idea of how gradually they were starting, there are approximately 30 cc's in an ounce. It didn't take long before Lalo started regularly throwing up and in the middle of the night they stopped feeds. CDH babies have a real hard time with introducing feeding. Their bowels are used to being in their chests, and when they are placed in the abdomen they don't exactly replicate how they would naturally be in most people. So it takes a long time to get digestion to go smoothly. They started Lalo on a medicine called Reglan, which helps the tummy push food through. They then restarted him on 1 cc an hour at around 1 pm today and as of 9:30 pm...no vomiting! Baby steps...
