A. not to get stressed out the premature babies take some time extra to develop so just give exclusive breastfeeding as it is the best source of nutrition for the baby and burp well after each field so that baby can take breastfeed properly

A. Breastfeed Often Nurse your baby every two to three hours and whenever they show signs of hunger. Don't put your baby on an every three- to four-hour feeding schedule like a formula-fed baby. Since breast milk is more easily digested, breastfed babies need to eat more often.
