The amount of milk they recieve now is not enough for their growth, but you can add 2-3 meals a day plus the milk, one meal at least should be cereal and the rest can be vegetables, fruits, boiled egg youlk, yougurt, or chicken
also you can give them daily multivitamine like poly-vi-sol 1 ml pe day to prevent vitamine deficiency
also you can add one teaspoon of rice cereal to each bottle of milk and that will add more calories to their diet, but in this case you need to make the nipple holes little wider by using a pin
in rare cases when the children are not growing and not taking enough an overnight tube feeding can be used for few months until they gain more weight but this is the last resort

some preterm infant stands and wlks later than their peers due to many factors, nutrition is one of them, but also they can develop ricketes, fine and gross motor delay , and lack of stimulation due to their stay in incubators for prolong period.
they should be followed closely but a pediatrician experience in preterm infants and should have an evaukation by a physical therapist also experienced in babies for the possibility of physicial therapy early in life to strengthen the weak muscle
also if their feeding strength is not satisfactory they should be evaluated by an occupational therapist

and inshallah i will try my best to follow your advices
