Joshua is feeling better today. He had a big BM and then stopped fussing, so he seems a lot more comfortable. Last night, he had a huge weight gain of 80 grams, up to 2140 grams or 4 lbs 11.5 oz! I like those numbers, but I have a feeling that was all attributed to stool.
I wrote that paragraph earlier today and didn't get a chance to finish it until now. He has had a good evening, too. He breastfed for 22 minutes and guzzled like a champ. My hunch about his weight gain was wrong. He gained another 30 grams tonight, up to 2170 grams or 4 lbs 12.5 oz. That's two nights in a row of solid growth! Looks like the MCT oil is helping.
I forgot to mention a couple of days ago that his hearing test was completely normal. That's one more potential preemie problem to cross of the list. :)
