How Much Should Preemie Babies Eat When Feeding?
Preemies, or infants born prematurely at less than 37 weeks gestation, have a high risk for feeding and growth problems, gastroesophageal reflux and other complications. Parents are faced with many challenges as they adjust to having a preemie, and feeding is one thing that both the parents and the baby must learn to do before coming home from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, or NICU. Because preemies have unique needs, it is important to get specific recommendations from your pediatrician or neonatologist.
