Accepted Answer

hi dear mum since baby is premature so follow the growth curve with doctor
any change in formula only after consulting with doctor
have frequent skin to skin contact, 
at one time feed from only one breast so that baby receives fat rich hindmilk which will help in weight gain
ensure that baby latches properly during breastfeeding.

Answer

Hello dear parent! Depending on your baby’s health and growth your doctor will advise you accordingly.  Consult your doctor for further assistance. Continue feeding your baby well on demand. Keep Babyhug tummy roll on handy
