So our DD's our on 4 hours schedules. They eat about 3 ounces every 4 hours.. Does that sound about right?

 

Also, they pretty much just eat and sleep. When she I expect them to start waking up some during the day??>

TIA

    Andrew was really, really sleepy.  Like he didn't even wake up to eat, and if we woke up he was too tired to eat! He was that way for a few weeks after his due date.

    That sounds about right as far as the amount.  I think that's more than Andrew ate, but he wasn't a big eater.

    Oh I didn't even think about the fact that their actual due date isn't until this coming Monday, the 8th. Makes sense now.. Hopefully soon after next week we will get more alert..

     

    Thanks Lemen99!

    Yep. DS was born at 34w 3d. He was like that until about 2 weeks after his due date. It took him forever to eat 3 ounces well, but he had horrid silent reflux. Now that his meds are regulated, he is eating close to 5 ounces every 3 hours. He's a pig. :-)
