Update on Jerkface

phenyx · 10-15-18, 09:13 PM

Jerkface's last regurg was mid-June and he had a pattern of regurging every 4th feeding. I think the pattern has broken. He's has now had 2 feedings, a shed and then 4 more consecutive feedings (5 grams each time) with no regurges! (knocking on wood).

His weight is holding steady at 30-31 grams and he's feeding on his own again. He took his 5th consecutive feeding tonight.

I'm not super worried about the lack of weight gain yet; right now I'm more concerned with getting his feeding well established before I try increasing the frequency of his feeds.
