Sable woke up this afternoon sniffing around in her basket. I put my hand in to pet her and show her off to a friend and she stretched and yawned before she sniffed my hand. I thought this would be a great time to feed her. Well I was right. Sable took to the bottle with gusto! Mind you, she didn't suck for a long time but she actually latched on to the nipple this time. I was so proud of her and told her so!
After feeding, I held her in the palm of my hand and gently patted her on her back. She let out a little burp. I was so tickled by it I didn't know what to do! LOL
Despite my coaxing, she still hasn't eliminated. She had a decent feeding this morning and a more hearty one this afternoon, surely something is waiting to come out. I'll keep trying.
It's obvious that we are getting to know one another better. I am learning that she can actually tell me when she is ready to feed and just work around her schedule. She seems to accept me...she sniffs my hand and loves to climb up my chest to snuggle at my neck. She became a bit more active after this last feeding. She didn't go back to sleep immediately after feeding...she actually kneeded her bedding after allowing me to handle her for some time. She is showing signs of curiousity as well, which is a good thing.
She's now snug as a bug in her picnic basket makeshift carrier.
