We have now spent 84 days in the NICU or 12 weeks. Josh is back up to full feedings and they will begin to add in some extra calories. Even without the extra calories he has been gaining weight so we hope they don't have to go back up to the super high calorie formula he has been on in the past. His reflux also is less on plain breast milk we hope that adding back in extra calories won't make his reflux worse. He now weighs 6 lbs. 10 oz and he has outgrown all of his preemie clothes. We have no entered a frustrating stage of being at the NICU where he seems ready to go home if not for the reflux (and accompanying brady's) and being able to consistently take full feedings from the bottle. One thing we are trying is to hold him upright for 30-60 minutes after his feedings or to put him in his car seat which keeps him at a better angle.
