    I'm so happy to hear that he is settling in.

    BIG problem. Yes, 10cc is the same as 10 ml but you can't use that. They deliver WAY too fast. The risk of aspiration pneumonia is HUGE with a 10cc syringe. You should use either a 1cc or 3cc syringe. You can probably get away with a 3cc syringe at this point. No matter how big they are I never use a 10cc syringe.

    I'm confused by the amount. You said 3. Are you saying 3cc (ml) or 3 of the 10cc syringes full. That would be 30cc (ml).
    You need to get a scale. The amount of formula is based on the weight.

    If he needs more hydration, you can give warm water or water with a little apple juice between feedings.

    He was very tiny in the pic a couple days ago. He needs feeding more than 3 times a day. Every four hours would be ideal until he's a little bigger but no more than 5 hr intervals at this point.
