How much should a 32 week preemie sleep?

How much should a 32 week preemie eat?

When is it time to ask the doctor about reflux and switching formula issues?

Thanks!

    it depends.  What is their adjusted age?  even with that info the range can vary greatly.

    If you have concerns over reflux and formula issues dont hesitate contacting your pedi.  There are different meds and formulas that can be tried.  You can also try elevating your baby for 30-45 minutes after a feeding in your lap, in a swing, in a rock n play etc.  

    good luck!

    Thanks, she was born 7/31/13 is a twin, and she came home Friday. 

    I am going to see if I can get her into the doc Monday. I just hate to see her hurting over formula and or reflux issues...

    When were your twins due? The adjusted age is probably the biggest determining factor.

    I agree with all of the above. Your pedi might recommend some behavioral changes before medicating for reflux depending on the severity. The following helped us:

    -burping every ounce when bottle feeding
    -holding completely upright 20-30 minutes after every feed
    -sleeping on a slant (for us, a rock n play)

    Thanks, we got the sleep and rock, and she sleeps in her swing that seems to help. Doctor has her on neosure 22 and won't change it just yet.

    She has major gas issues but isn't in pain... but I still feel bad. The twins were born a 32 weeks on July 31st, 2013 so 32 days old as of today. We only have one twin home:(
