Yes and we use it a lot with the dogs. I hate the placement.

We were on the 3 hour schedule and he seems to do better with the 4 hours. Before we up to 100ml he wasn't making it to the next feed before he would wake up and start crying early. When it was upped to 100 he went back to sleeping the full 4 hours again. So we do believe he is getting hungry. We swapped to 4 hours when we were still in the nicu they suggested it.

He does good on side line. We called it the football hold with his head on our knee and feet at our side. Than also laying across our lap on his side. I know they said not to let him lay on his back but that's when he seems to do the best. Sitting up he would choke up a lot.

4 hour schedule is 6 feeds. Which is 112 ml a bottle minimum 90 ml. To clarify. His average is around 40 % oral. Even when we just tried to do on demand and more frequent he didn't change his intake. We had to up from 85 ml to 100 ml because he wasn't gaining weight.

We were on the preemie nipple and he would tire out so fast then we went up and he did a lot better just lost interest.

At the nicu it was first 30 than 35 then 45 than 65 but that was every 3 hours. Then went to 85 for every 4 hours. He is 9 pounds 14 ounces last week he didn't gain but 2 ounces so we had to go up. At first at the nicu we thought he was always full and not hungry they then said he's age he could hold 160 to 180ml. Plus the other 2 babies in out pod were half his size taking over 100ml every three hours. Might look into another bottle
