Patient's question:
My son was born at 33 weeks + 5 days. Now the doctor says he is not getting enough milk. Could you please tell me what the normal milk intake is for a 10-day-old baby weighing 2.7 kilograms?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: For an accurate calculation, it is necessary to know your child's birth weight, whether they are breastfed or given premature infant formula, whether they are tube-fed or breastfed directly.Suggestions: Your child's weight has exceeded 2000 grams. If they have already been discharged, they are currently in a transitional period, and feeding is crucial. It is important to try to meet the needs of catch-up growth for premature infants. The general milk intake should be 140-160 ml/kg/day. Based on your child's weight, the amount should be around 400 ml.
