Feeding therapy to the rescue
We got a call from the OT today who has been assigned to come to our home to provide Hazel feeding therapy. She's coming by tomorrow! We hope that this, combined with managing Hazel's reflux, can help her eat better. She's been taking only about half of her bottle now (if that) before freaking out and refusing to take any more.

The old NICU nurse in me is wondering if the docs have discussed Hazel eating more calories, but less frequently ... maybe every 3 hours is just too much work for her. Sometimes the kiddos did better taking higher calories but every 4 hours with longer break in between. I know its stressful and scary, but if you are tense, nervous, & frustrated at her feeding times, she'll pick up on that and stress out too. Hopefully the OT will be able to get some tricks going and get Miss Hazel in gear! Love you guys! Nurse Susie
Oh good, hope some progress comes from this!
