re: At 3 weeks old..

Quoting Frederick is HERE!!!:“ Hmmm.. He's having 1 1/2 - 2ozs every 2-4 hours.. He was a preemie and has reflux.. Just seemed like he should be eating more..”

If he has reflux, small frequent feeds are best.

Quoting Sheena May!:“ Yep! 3 weeks yestarday!! =) Time has totally flew by, hasnt it?! By the way, your little man is adorable!! Congrats!!”

Time is going by waaay too fast.. Doesn't help we have been in and out of the hospital the last 3 weeks!! Oye!! 
Thank you! Your little girl is also very beautiful!! You guys did good!!  I didn't realize you had her the day after me.

 That's pretty much what we have been doing.. Sometimes he only takes an ounce.. But the medicine isn't working..   he still spits everything up.

The medicine is not meant to make him spit up less. It's made to make it not hurt when he does spit up. And it takes a week to 10 days for it to fully kick in.

 Interesting.. I didn't know that.. it stopped my daughter from spitting up when she was a baby.. But thanks for the info, hopefully we can figure out a way to keep his food in..

What medication is he on?

Quoting J e s s i c a:“ What medication is he on?”

He is on Zantac. 

Quoting Frederick is HERE!!!:“ He is on Zantac.”

Yeah, that's not meant to reduce spit up. It's meant to reduce acid. Good luck!

my daughter drinks anywehre from 1oz to 3oz in a feeding every 3 hrs

Quoting Meep:“ 4-6oz every 2 hours.”

that's a lot for a 3 week old.
