Spencer's Eating

Spencer is up to 2-4 "nipple feeds" a day, but he still has not completed a feeding on his own. He seems very ready, alert and wanting to eat but then just takes a long time to get the suck, swallow down. After about 20 minutes, we have to stop trying because if you let it go too long, he will burn more calories than he is taking in. So, we just need continued prayers that something will click as he grows and he will be able to start finishing bottles in a timely manner. Thanks to everyone for your ongoing support.
