Q.

#AskTheExpert my baby girl was born premature, 34weeks 5 days with the weight 1.7kgs. Currently she is 6 months and 5 days old with weight of 6 kg. She only drinks 50-60ml at a time. But she asks for frequent feeding lets say once in 2 hours. So is it normal?I have also started semi solids in very small quantity. Also she drops a lot. Spits and also vomits. I do burp her, but with the burp she vomits
