Preemie feeds: Your baby has gained roughly 19 ounces in 30 days since he was born. In a preemie, like to see 3/4 to 1 ounce weight gain a day at this point in time. So averaging this out, i would have liked to see a few more ounces of gain by this time, but you are not far off at all, and the general trend is good. I would urge you to try to get up to at least 60ml each feed, which would give the extra calories.
