Our DD was 8 weeks prem and her due date in April 22nd. She came out of the NICU on a three hourly feed schedule which she has stuck to. She is currently 3.5kg and takes 85ml per feed. 8 times a day. this morning I gave her 120ml and she drained the bottle, then again three hours later same again. I thought they were meant to self regulate and stop when full!! I am reluctant to continue because if she continues taking the full 120ml we will be giving her a massive amount per day and overfeeding her based on the 150-200ml/kg guidelines. She does seem to be tolerating it, small amounts of vom and spit up but does suck her dummy madly after a feed. Any advice welcome!
