My grandson was born a little over three weeks premature. He needed a CPAP with oxygen for about two days, was in an incubator to regulate his temperature, and now weighs 5 lbs. He is in a regular bassinet but is not eating the amount of formula the doctors want and it is supplemented with a feeding tube. They want him to have 48 hours with the right amount of formula before they remove the feeding tube and then another 48 hours of feedings before he will be discharged. Is this normal for a premature baby or could there be something else wrong with him?
