Dear Lactation people,
could you please tell me what you base amounts on feeding prem babies while "fattening Up" phase?  I work on 180mls/kgm/divided by 8 for 3rd hourly feeds.  If baby demanding increase, I would offer approximately 10 to 20 mls extra.  In our small rural hospital have twins trying to get to over 2000gms.  some midwives are offering 1820gm baby amounts up to 75mls per 3 to 4th hourly feeds.  Could some NICU/Special Care Nursery personell please advise with literature?  Many thanks, Barbara
