New feeding questions

I am new to the board not to preemies. I have a 3 year old DS was born at 35 weeks and now triplets also born at 35 weeks in Nov. DS was on nutramigin for reflux so not sure about some of this. Two of the babies were sent home on neosure born low birth weight 4 lbs 5oz and 4lbs 11oz how long were your kids on neosure? The third baby was sent home on regular formula 5 lbs 2oz regular nursery she has gained the least amount of weight should I see if Dr thinks she needs neosure also? 

 

Also one of the babies was sent home on O2 for feedings only to keep her awake. For anyone who had a child do that how long did they have to stay on O2 for? We see dr next week but not dr she saw in hospital so not sure what will say or if have to see specialist. Thanks for any help.

Stupid iPad will not let me change or add. The 2 low birth weight ones were in level 2 nursery not sure if matters when comes to formula.

Hi! Ours were only on Neosure when they were in the NICU then towards then end of their stay we switched them to Similac sensitive for spit up because they also have reflux. It has worked really well to curb their reflux and we do more scoops to make the formula higher calorie. You can find recipes for how to do it on the Internet but if you are using the Dr Brown's pitcher to make 32 oz we would do 20 scoops.
