Day 3 Natalie starts feeding

Natalie was started on Mum's milk today, and seems to be coping well. She is being fed via a tube directly into her stomach at the moment. Dad got to hold the syringe containing the 1 ml of milk she gets per hour which flows down the tiny tube under gravity (the syringe plunger is not used).

Natalie was sleeping most of the time when we came to see her today

Mum sits by Natalie's cot. Mum is doing much better today too.
