How long did your preemie take to drink full bottles in the nicu?

Question

I had my baby at 27 weeks and 4 days. Now she's 37 weeks and not taking a full bottle. They started her at 34 weeks. Anyone else went through a similar situation? My baby is still in the nicu

Answer

From 2lbs 8oz born at 27 weeks to 25lbs at 21 months old :)

Answer

My son was also 27 weeks 3 days. He got his first bottle the day he turned 2 months old. He wasnt able to take full feedings til shortly before he came home. So he was probably about 3 months old when he ate full bottles. He had to have oxygen to come home. Not because he couldn't breathe without it, he got really tired easily and he couldn't eat even an ounce without passing back out if he didn't have it and lost weight. But even after coming home he still wasnt eating great. Just barely enough to gain weight.
