A. Keep Breastfeeding the baby and give the supplements suggested by ur Pediatrician. Also after starting solids make sure the child is fed adequately. The baby will slowly get to normal weight. When u have a preemie baby u should keep these things in mind. For a preemie baby u should track the growth based on the expected due day and not on the original birth date which is premature . Like if a normal baby follows objects and smiles around three months then it may take sometime between four to five months(from the original birth date) for a baby who is two months premature. There will be a two months delay in reaching all the milestones. On a long term it is even advisable to admit such preemie kids in schools based on their expected date of delivery and not on the original premature birth date
