You need to aim for small, frequent feeds. How often will she take 40 mls?
If she is really not taking feeds, she may have to go back in for NG feeding. They get very tired when they have to struggle to breathe.

She is not feeding very often at all. This morning she had 50mls at 7.30am then i managed to get another 30mls into her at about 9am she refused to take anything else at all until about 4pm when she had another 40mls. I persisted on trying to feed her until 6pm and managed in the 2 hrs to get 40 mls into her. I tried again at 8pm and she refused outright after much persuasion i managed to get 20ml. She doesnt appear to be struggling to breath much at all now. I can't hear the wheeze, she no longer has the trachial tug and is not using the muscles under the rib cage excessivly either. As i said she appears quite well apart from the lack of feeding. She has been quite settled and is sleeping as per her normal routine. If she does not up her intake i will def take her back tomo to see what they say.

I'd agree with that. She's going to get dehydrated soon if that is all she's having.
