dance WOW now that's amazing! It sounds to me like she is a determined little angel! wink

Her stools should start to become a little firmer within a few more days. I'm not sure about the color though. I know that while infants are nursing, their stools are runny and have a yellowish/orangish tinge.

your doing great beth yes the stools will be kinda runny and yellowish orange in color. I kept my babies in my bra also I just couldn't put them in the incubator without worrying. sounds like you are doing a super job with this little one. I do agree she seems to be about 2 weeks early but seems to be a fighter.

My goodness... that is a really early baby. She looks to be three weeks or so of being able to come oop.

My bet is the wee one weighs in at 5 grams.

You really need to purchase a Digital Scale so you can monitor the baby's weight. If baby is not gaining weight in five to seven days... then you need to move the feedings closer together. Feedings too small or spaced to far apart... baby will be slow in growing and also is the reason they become dehydrated.

If possible, I suggest you find another experienced person who has handfed babies to help you. Without help... do not know how you yourself will survive with no sleep for almost six weeks or so with feedings so close together.

Handfeeding every two hours for three weeks is horrible. Cannot even imagine doing it 45 min apart for three weeks and then another three weeks every two hours.

I agree with Judie, definately find a back-up in case you get too worn out and need a break for a night.

I had to handraise 2 premie kittens and fed them every 1-2 hours and it KILLED me. I didn't dare trust anyone else though because I was paranoid that because they were so small and premature(only weighed an ounce!) that they'd die if not properly cared for. I used to sleep with them at my side so they'd wake my up if they got hungry early.

It was extremely stressful, but SO worth it! I'd do it again in a heartbeat. wink I'm sure you'd do the same with your new little joye. smile

- Bulletin- We've hit the 48 hr mark with me, so she now gets her name- Sprout sound good? She is also getting stronger! I have more pics that I'll post in a few on www.thegliderpouch.zoomshare.com . As for the above posts-

i've done raccoons, puppies, kittens and squirrels (i think thats it) from day one or two, which is not at all fun sleepwise, but if you guys are right and she is 2-3 weeks pre-oop, then this is gonna be a long haul.

Ya know whats funny is i worked at a vet and my husband works with mice (he studies genetics) , so I know non glider people who could help, but i am so nervous because she's hard to feed without getting her nose.

That said- if anyone knows someone who is actually exp. with glider joeys being hand raised in the memphis area, I wouldnt mind having the # on standby at all. Goin for night 3!!!
