My little lad was born 5 weeks early weighing 5lbs 6ozs and was in the scbu for a week being tube fed. He has always been a slow feeder, it takes around an hour to feed him most feeds. When he initially came out of hosp we had to wake him to give his milk. We've always had to encourage him. Now he refuses his milk after 2/3ozs so we have started giving him his milk in his baby cereals which has been ok'd by the Doc. He seems to really love it the more solid it is. But try to give it to him really mushy to get as much of his milk in.
So hes now 22 weeks and weighs 12lbs, is this ok? can anyone relate to this? Is there anything else i can do?I seem to be obsessed with him getting his milk.
