Finally, finger sucking has begun. From being able to aiming her thumb into her mouth, Vera has progressed to sucking on her fingers whenever she's lying on her side. It's a good sign: it shows that she's exploring her own hands, and able to pacify herself with them.However, the downside is that the movement shifts the feeding tube, it irritates her throat, and causes her to vomit her milk out. It's painful for me to watch - the little girl is just doing what babies do, and has to put up with the consequences.
Boy, do I hate this feeding tube.

Poor baby, it is a shame something so normal can cause her such pain. I love your pics that are so close up and clear. She is beautiful!
Yum, she looks so cuuttttee in this pic!
May, ok I am glad I have you fooled. Today I fell apart. I just wanted to be home and took it out on the kids. I wish I was stronger but even when there is no crisis, I fall apart. Glad I fooled you! Had to come back and just look at this precious baby girl. Is she feeling good?
Way to go, Vera!!!! This is a great milestone. Keep it up. We are all rooting for you.
