Attempted tube wean: A diary

Baby A pulled out her NG feeding tube last weekend and we left it out for about 8 hours and she did alright. So, after a conversation with her nurse, we've decided to take it out to see how she goes.
We will stop this attempt at any time if:
  • She takes less than 300ml in 24 hours (thats a baseline amount for hydration.)
  • She dramatically loses weight
  • She is dehydrated or lethargic
