Question
How to address the issue of slow weight gain in premature babies?
Answer
Based on the weight and stomach capacity of the premature baby, calculate the appropriate milk volume and gradually increase the amount per meal. For premature babies born on the third day, the total milk volume should be between 110 to 120 milliliters, with an increase of 1 to 2 milliliters per 1000 grams of body weight daily. If the premature baby can only drink 70 milliliters of milk and shows slow weight gain, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor for appropriate dietary advice and care plans.
