Baby feeding concern
Dear Sir/madam,
We r blessed with bby boy on 25.6.21 with a weight of 1.7kg at 36 weeks without any issue.. initially doc advised to feed him 20ml for every 2hrs. After 20 days, his weight was 2.25kg.
Now mother can pump the milk approx 40ml 6 times a day, would that be sufficient for baby? Also in the gap, we feed him Pre Nan powder alternatively, please advise of there is any advice to increase the milk supply naturally.
Considering the weight, baby cannot take the feed directly and hence using the pump. Please advise how much we can feed him now with regards to quantity for 1 feed

Hello,
Baby feeding - breast feeding followed spoon feed when ever baby is hungry.
No fixed time table but of course not later than 3 hours.
Early feeding on demand by baby.
Quantity is decided by baby - how much baby want.
To check growth - weight check up every week till 3 kg.
