I stop and burp him heaps cos he only goes so far before he will stop drinking then I have to burp him and try again
He will stop for a burp 3 or 4 times during feeding. I am going by what he will take. Sometimes he will drink 160ml other times 130 and as I said other time 100 or less.
He has heaps of wet nappies so I know he is getting enough (well I think anyway) and so far he's been putting on weight reasonably well. He has 4 to 5 feeds a day depending on what he feels like
I have just changed formula brands and he seems good with the new 1 and he's already on quiet fast flowing teats as he would fall asleep much faster with slow teats. I was thinking of putting some thickener in it cos he has been chucking a bit but I am wondering if thats a wind thing.
I have a health centre appt on Thursday so I might ask her what she thinks.
Thanks for the feed back ladies I am glad to hear it sounds normal to have a premmie feed slowly
Shazzi congrats on ur pregnancy. I was very worried too with DS as DD was 4 weeks prem (not much really) and DS came 8.5 weeks early but because of a completely different thing. Its very hard to know how things will pan out so my advice to u is to try to think positive thoughts and be prepared to have a happy healthy baby no matter what gestation bubs arrives at
