A month in the life Harry Tobias

Harry is a healthy baby, despite his identified kidney problems. He was given antibiotics from day two onwards and this will continue for the foreseeable future. He takes this readily through an oral syringe. Having initially fed strongly, Harry did not feed well in his first few days, so his mother expressed milk for him, giving it via the medication syringe, sterilising it well after each use. He soon got the hang of sucking again and feeding settled down. He regained his birth weight at two and a half weeks.
