Knuffelkoe Klara II

Fresh grandparent's C present is keeping Nina company in her cozy incubator.

Nina is doing well and is drinking 24ml of mothermilk every three hours. Her weight is going up and down; last night she gained a little again and today her total weight was 1386g. In order to increase the efficiency of the feedings, an additive is added to the mothermilk that slightly increases the calorie count and should give Nina a bit more energy to grow.

Although most of the feedings are via the tube, every 8 hours Nina get's a chance to drink from the bottle. This morning she drunk approx. 15ml of her ration herself. Bravo!
