Max no longer really fits most preemie sized clothing and definitely fits into newborn outfits a lot better than before. This probably has to do with the fact that he's at 2836g today (6lbs 4oz). He's getting quite large and, other than the whole "feeding" thing, looks and acts much like every other tiny newborn we've ever come across.
Today, Mum and Max attempted to breastfeed again. This time, Max got a bit of milk we think. He had that very wide-eyed, quasi-surprised look he gets when he swallows, so we're pretty sure it happened. With that said, he also bottled at other times of the day for 20-22ml of milk each time. This is amazing for him as it makes up around one third of his scheduled feeds, and puts him that much closer to eating everything by some sort of nippled thing.
We bathed him again, and he was such a lovely kid during that whole time. He really does seem to enjoy being bathed, even when we had to clean his ears. We look forward to all the future bath adventures we'll be sharing with the butterball.
