We aim  for 20-30 gm/ day once fully-fortified feeds are achieved.   Fenton

formula-fed premies.
 
~~~ Thanks to Dr. Wight for the neonatologist reply. I must be losing  my 
mind because 20/30g/day sounds like "normal" weight gain expected for a  
newborn. If this is the case, then these sets of parents ( several now) have  
been scared unnecessarily when their babies were gaining this way. These 
babies  are home, breastfeeding or getting mother's milk, plus any vitamins and 
Fe they  need. Is this "fully fortified" for a baby at home, or is this 
reference to  adding fortifier when much smaller/younger'/hospitalized?
Aside of interest? I googled "Fenton Growth Chart"  and the first two sites 
were both Abbot Nutrition - it's great that a concerned  mom's first stop 
online shows her how she can trust artificial feeding to grow  her baby 
well...
 
Thanks,
Peace,
Judy
