Katharine isn't eating enough on her own so we are still hand feeding her. Saturday and today, she ate well throughout the morning and afternoon but then slowed down and then wouldn't eat at all. We are counting calories and on her own, she'll consume 100 in eight hours. She needs another 65-80 or more. So, we are supplementing.
Here are photos that somewhat show my towel technique to calm and contain her while I hand feed her. The towel is draped over her chest, under the neck, and the ends wrapped snuggly over her back. I hold the ends at her neck as if I'm holding her at the scruff. I hold the towel in one hand and syringe feed with the other. (No photo yet for that.)
