My pre term baby born at 31 weeks is now 14 months old and her weight is 7 kgs. Doctor advised me to feed her 5 times a day and avoid giving milk during day time and feed milk only during night time so that she can eat more solid food in day time. Is this a correct approach? Will the milk be sufficient for her if I feed her only in the night?
