Jasmine’s dudey cup

Jasmine with her doidy cup
Jasmine has thrown up her NG tube three times in the last 24 hours and I was too tired this morning to do a good job of pushing it back down. So, I tried her first with a bottle and then with her tippee cup which I do every couple of days to see if she will drink a bit of milk. No joy, as per usual. Neil and I both had a go with these things and it is hard work to get a drink out of them. You really have to suck. Then I moved on to the doidy cup and it worked a treat. The most she has managed so far today in one go is 100mls of milk. I am thrilled and so am giving her nose a rest for a couple of more hours.

Oooh Neil has just given her another 50mls and she slurped it down and licked her chops. He is just pouring another 50mls into her cup. She hasn’t quite learnt to hold the handles but holding the top is good enough for me. And she has just drunk that lot too. Hurrah!
