Growth spurts in premature babies?

[Surfnicky]

Hi everyone, quick question. Does anyone know whether growth spurts in premature babies follow the real age or the adjusted age?

I.e. My dts are 16 weeks today but were 5 weeks early. Should I be expecting next week to be a bf marathon? (taking into account the avg 12 week growth spurt)

Not that it matters either way - am just interested to know...

Thanks!

Really depends on how they've been growing so far and other probs they may have had. Premmies have growth spurts at different times - look at their growth charts and see if they're following one of the standard curves or their own special curve!
