The neonatologist told me to do exactly what I am doing. To make sure she is gaining weight. No, we are not having weight check ups. We went to a pediatrician Tuesday and he said she was doing...

I have been rubbing her feet, face, playing with her hands, talking to her, rubbing her head...I take off her gown (leave on her onesie) and sometimes that still doesn't work. But, I am not...
