Week 4

We introduced a pacifier for the first time a few days ago. It was weird and not very tasty at first, but eventually, it was accepted. Score!


I plan to start pumping this weekend, and we'll introduce the bottle for the first time. The pedi says to start with one bottle a day, and to be consistent about offering it each day, as the window for getting babes to accept the pacifier/bottle is small (from 4 to 6 weeks), and once it's closed, it's CLOSED. Wish us luck that it doesn't interfere at all with his other feedings!

Cam is more alert during the days and seems to be more responsive to our faces. We've gotten a few smiles, and they are just the most precious thing I've ever seen. I have yet to capture one on the camera though, they're fleeting!
