Introduction of solid foods this early can cause allergies and childhood obesity. It's also a choking hazard. If she's nursing well and gaining weight, why can't she eat the best food possible - mama's milk? Please do research on the dangers of formula thickened with rice cereal.

I've been reading along since before you got pregnant, and have followed along through all the ups and downs. I'm so happy for you - she's gorgeous, and watching the video brought tears to my eyes. I hope she's home - healthy and happy - in a very short time.

I bet part of it is that she knows what she wants - and she wants her mom! My son, after going to one breastfeed a day in the NICU to coming home and going all breast (and a wean from the shield) to one bottle, quickly refused the bottle outright. I had no choice but to do only breast - but he was good and healthy and it helped me slim down :). I Oh she is such a cutie! I bet part of it is that she knows what she wants – and she wants her mom!

She is SO adorable. And she definitely smiled when she heard your voice! Who says babies don't smile this young? There is no doubt that's what she did. That was a great video! She is SO adorable.

I have a huge box of it. It works with both formula and breast milk (nothing else works well with breast milk) and it's next to impossible to find around here. One of our NICU nurses and our ped recommended it for Patrick to help with reflux, but he ended up not caring for it. It's yours if you want it. I have to say I wasn't all that impressed with the recommendations made by speech. They were very nice ladies, but their suggestions lead to frustrated nurses, frustrated parents, and three very unhappy babies which made for one very miserable weekend. I ended up saying the plans were ridiculous and told our nurses to go back to what they were doing before speech. In the end it was our primaries that discovered what worked for each of our babies. It just took time and a little trial and error. You are getting so close to the end of your NICU stay! The video is so cute. You've given us a taste and now you must post more videos. It made my day!
