Landon took the liberty of pulling out his NG tube yesterday morning. After brief moments of disappointment and worry we decided along with his doctor to attempt using a bottle every other feeding instead of the NG tube. Using a bottle is slightly less stressful and energy consuming for him. So officially for 2 days he has been taking the required amounts and sometimes more by bottle and breastfeeding every other feeding! Our goal now is weight gain, he is weighed daily, I anxiously await 6am to find out how he did. I must admit, even though it has been stressful to hope he can eat enough to avoid replacing the NG tube, it has been delightful to have our little boy free of monitors and tubes! :) (his doctor discontinued his oxygen monitor today) Here are a few pictures of the fun of a tube free cutie :)
