First Bottle

The surgeon decided today was the day to attempt a feeding with Madden.  She had her first bottle at noon with 20ml of milk (just over half an ounce).  She did her dad proud by impressing the nurse with her eating ability!  Madden took what she was offered like a champ, and would have gladly had more.  There was some question as to whether she would be able to handle eating while being on such a high flow of oxygen, but she passed with flying colors.  She will attempt the bottle again every three hours and the nurse said to be prepared that she may not always take to it so well, but what a joy to be able to watch her do a normal baby thing. :)
