My baby was born 35 weeks even he’s 12 weeks actual 7 weeks corrected we’ve been home over a month now he came home 4 days after is due date eating around 110 mls every 2-3 hours. We gradually went up and was eating around 4.5-5 oz recently we’ve dipped all the way down to 3.5 oz almost every feed and he’s going pretty consistently 3 1/2 hours between feedings. I sometimes can get him to take 4-4.5 oz but it takes a lot of convincing and those feedings usually last a little over 30 minutes because we end up taking breaks, he pulls back from the bottle of spits it out or smacks the bottle out of his mouth. I wasn’t too concerned about it until yesterday I started documenting his sleeping his awake times his bottles and his wet/ poopy diapers a couple days ago when I noticed the decrease in amount of eating but wasn’t sure if other things were being affected so I downloaded and app to help me track everything and that’s when I noticed a decrease in wet diapers, he’s pooping every day but he’s averaging about 4 wet diapers in a 24 hour period.

I called his pediatrician yesterday and left a voicemail when the nurse line wasn’t answered, but I never received a call back, so I do plan on trying again tomorrow. In the meantime does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to encourage him to eat more. Nothing has changed really, he did have thrush but I’ve since finished his medicine and he does have reflux but his dosage of peside has increased to help with that. The only thing different is we’ve upped the nipple flow because we were using the MAM 0 flow and that was getting to be too slow for him and he was falling asleep every time he ate, since going to the MAM 1 flow he stays awake while eating now he just still doesn’t eat more than 3.5 oz
