I think the weights are okay aside from the tiny one. Is it gaining much?

She is, but very, very slowly. She is starting to move around more. She had an eye infection which I cleared up but the infected one appears still much smaller than the other.

I have noticed her skin is becoming a lot less translucent.
The weights are excellent!
About the tiny one - how much and how often do you feed her?
What did you use on her eye?
It's great she's made it this far though!

I used terramycin for the eye. She will only take 3mls at a time. I supplement 3x a day. She does nurse, but gets pushed out easily.
I think you need to feed her more often. She needs 48 mL's of formula per day based on her weight. She's clearly not getting enough to eat or she would be gaining more weight. She's barely maintaining. Can you up the supplementing to every 3 hours until she gets bigger? I'd hate for you to lose her.

I put her on mom, alone, 4x a day for 30 minutes so she can nurse without a fight. She also nurses with the other. The 9mls is not all she is getting. She wont take more from me. She isnt interested when I try to feed her more or more often.
Alright. She seems to be maintaining. She looked premature at birth, so will probably be a late bloomer. It's good she gets time alone with mom.

Yes, l agree. Up until a few days ago her akin was still very thin amd translucent. Her face is filling out too, no longer so sunken looking. I think shes going to pull through, she os getting stronger.
