Pfft! to your MCHN. If they are hungry, feed them! Babies don't read the cans, so they don't know what they are *supposed* to have. For their age, 80-120mls would not be enough and you'd have starving unhappy babies on your hands for sure. If what you have been doing is working for you, then keep doing it. It sounds like your babies are gorgeous happy little things who are doing just fine the way they are. They are probably just spewy babies and maybe they have a little reflux, but even though they were born early it doesn't mean that they should be fed less, or that they are spewy they should be fed less. Geeze, my last baby was having 120mls at 5 days old! If you think the spewing is a problem, try keeping them upright after a feed and see if that makes a difference.
