That is DEFINITELY a question for the doctor. Please do not follow any advice regarding this that you get from anyone else but your DOCTOR!!!

I am confused by your question...if she was a preemie, who is now at what would be your 38weeks, then she should be under the care of a physician.
She should be under the care of a physican anyway, I can't imagine anyone letting you, unless you have medical training, in which case I can't imagine you ask this question, decide when it is best for her to come off of tube feedings....
Take her to her pediatrician, NOW.

This would probably be a good question to ask your doctor, seeing as he was the one who put on her ont he feeding tube in the first place.

i do no longer think of there is any set age to wean somewhat one off of thier night time feed! they're going to wean themselves off whilst they're waiting, that's what i've got faith. My son is 7 a million/2 months previous & nonetheless wakes up a million time a night & i understand he wakes up using fact he's hungry & no longer for convenience! which comprise his night-time bottle he has like 24-26 oz..of formula an afternoon & I by no ability as quickly as concept approximately no longer feeding him whilst he wakes up... he drinks his bottle & is going surprising lower back to sleep. Your toddler does no longer be waking up & eating that bottle until she mandatory it (no count number if it rather is for convenience or using fact she's actual hungry.)

That is something you absolutely need to ask the doctor. No one on here should be giving you advice like that... I'm sure her doctor/specialist can tell you exactly how to do it. Good luck, and take care.

learning how to suck is like a light bulb, one day she'll start taking the bottle like second nature, but you have to wait until the baby is ready, my baby picked it up around 37 weeks and I had to switch him to soothie bottles that have the same nipples as the hospital pacifiers.
