Millie's Milestones

MILLIE is making progress.

The medical team confirmed that she will not be fed milk for 14 days since she became poorly.

This means milk is unlikely to be re-introduced into Millie's diet until Wednesday 5 April at the earliest.

However, Millie's bile is now clear, which is a good sign that she continues to get better.

Her tummy is soft when pressed, rather than swollen and hard.

Millie is also settling in to her own corner in the Peter Rabbit room for high dependency babies.

It is decorated with pictures from Beatrix Potter stories.

There are six places for babies in this room - two babytherms (heated open trays) and four incubators.

Over the past five weeks Millie has stayed in five of these places.

Only one more incubator to go and she has the full set!

Mummy visited the hospital for most of the day, and had lots of cuddles.

Daddy came at about 8pm and also had a cuddle.

Everyone is very pleased because Millie's weight has increased by a further 28 grammes.

She weighs 1.880kg (4lbs 2oz).

This means Millie is rapidly regaining weight lost since she became poorly, which is good news indeed.
