Mommy's little muggle born is home :)
in GP Moms
Well ladies, this has been a long summer...having my little one early and then spending the last 8 weeks running back and forth from the hospital. I'm happy to report that she is home - earlier than expected as they told us at the hospital to not expect her to be home until her due date of September 7th. I think Violet wanted out of the hospital though and did everything she could to grow big and strong to come home early 
So happy she's home, but I will admit that it's a big adjustment because we're so used to her being hooked up to monitors that even the first night we couldn't sleep because we were so afraid something was going to happen to her. She's fine though and it's slowly getting easier

Also she's beautiful.
We feed babies every 3 hours in the hospital. Babies who are breast fed often get hungry more often than this, but since your daughter was so premature I'm assuming she's either getting a high calorie formula or fortified breast milk to help her gain weight. That often keeps them fuller for longer. Follow your discharge instructions as far as feedings go and let her eat, sleep, and grow.
We've been trying to stick with the discharge instructions which say she should eat every 3-4 hours but then a home care nurse came here as part of her discharge and said we should feed her 'on demand'. I have no problem doing that but what's happening is either she is sleeping for hours, if we try to wake her up to feed her because she's been sleeping too long and needs to eat, she either will give protest and refuse, meanwhile when we say okay and put her back down, she will be eating her hand, so we know she's hungry. Or, she goes back to sleep but will wake up 20 minutes later crying and eating her hand because she's starving (like we knew she was) then gobbles down the milk which then aggravates her acid reflux. I'm going to call the pediatrician today and see what we can do because I realize she needs her sleep but I don't want her to starve or suffer because she's hungry either.

Good luck.
Eta: you're absolutely right not to want her gobbling down her feed and aggravating her reflux. She needs all the calories she can get, especially if you're not fortifying the milk anymore. Sounds like you're on the right path.
