Barb I'd agree with the other posters on this so far. Despite being prem
this baby is now 4 weeks old and maybe just a little small when compared to
the 'average' term baby at this stage of development.
By Day 5 the normal term baby is consuming an average of 700ml per day
(range 452 to 876) - I would think this should be the goal for your baby by
now too. The reference for that is Saint L, Smith M, Hartmann PE. (1984)
The yield and nutrient content of colostrum and milk of women from giving
birth to 1 month post-partum. Br J Nutr. 52(1):87-95, and it's also in the
2005 Riordan.
