Since I've talked so much about the bottlefeeding I thought I'd show you how it's done. Tate is doing SO much better now with his eating. He rarely chokes anymore (although he did while he was filming so I stuck that in so you could get a sense of how scary that is - and this wasn't as bad as some of them. He's up to 85 mls now. It is taking him about 12 minutes to finish a bottle. Pretty good considering we started out at around 30 mls and he had 30 minutes to finish it...and rarely finished them. So far we haven't seen him trying to pace himself (breathe while he's sucking) so we are still pacing him - although I now let him go about 5-6 sucks before sitting him back up to breathe. So he's doing better. You'll see that towards the end he gets pretty tired and his breathing gets raspier. Plus you can really see him do his "catch up breathing" when his body shakes with each breath.
