Hi nay! Congratulations on the birth of Linkoln, I didnt know you had gone early until just now!!
My son is 8 weeks old, 4 weeks corrected. I really never considered him to be a premmie baby when he was born. Lucas had gastroschisis and needed an operation immediately after birth, so I was going to be induced at 37 weeks anyway so in my mind he was only a week early, and HUGE at 2.6kg compared to the other bubs in NICU. He is now 3.7kg. Anyway it’s only since bringing him home that we realised the importance of going by his corrected age. He still feeds every 2-3 hours, so I wouldn’t let him go longer than 6 hours between feeds.
I think alot depends on Linkoln's current weight and there is a way of figuring out how long he should go between feeds by going off his weight. I’ve had a look for you around BB but I can’t find it, may have been another site, or maybe the other mums here might know.
