I have a 4 month old. Born at 30 weeks. 17 mins of CPR to start heart back. Spent 3 months in NICU. He's home now but on a feeding pump. The Dr wants us to stop using the pump during the day and do a contiues feed at night. A total of 600 cal daily. Past 3 days he wont eat but 10 to 15ml per feeding every 1 1/2 hrs by bed time he's got 500ml or more to go. 30ml per hr is all he can take before he pukes everywhere. Dr insists we go as high as it takes. Could be as high as 50ml per hr.(Major Pukedge)Even if we could do 50ml at night. Wouldnt he not be hungry during the day?
We feel like were starving him during the day!!
What can we do? My wife is at whits end.
