DD1 ex 33 weeker was corrected by her Paed, but the same Paed hasn't worried about correcting our 35 weeker, which we are more than happy to agree with

Apparently the gut does start to work inline with their actual age, but it only grows as big as the baby gets, if that makes sense, so it would be unrealistc to expect a very early prem to be eating the same as the label on a tin of Formula says at that age, sometimes even taken their corrected age into account. Quite a few of the very early/very small bubs tend to encounter bigger stomach and bowel issues in comparrison to larger/closer to term bubs, because verything is that much smaller and wasn't really "designed" to carry food at that size..... Those are my thoughts anyway
