Input vs Output

Charlotte is doing well with her continuous feeds.  She has a bit of a cold right now, (thank you hospital), but has been maintaining her sats and hasn't developed a fever.  We think that she's far enough into the cold that if it were to get worse, it would have done so by now, so we're hopeful that this will pass without too much intervention.

Her continuous feeds run from 11pm until about 9am, when she wakes up and plays.  We give her about a 2 hour break and then run her feeds during her nap, give her another 2 hour break and then start her feeds again, which run until 11 pm. 

What does this mean?

We're changing a lot of diapers, people.

A LOT.

Just sayin'.  This girl, dang.  And since she will probably grow up one day and read this, I'll leave it at that.  But seriously.  A LOT of diapers.

Have I mentioned we use cloth diapers?

Yeah, without a doubt, our nurses hate us.
