How long did your LO stay in the hospital? How far along were you when you gave birth?
-
My LO was a 35 weekend and had a little over a week in the nicu as a feeding/growing baby. No oxygen and just a few days of tube feeds through his nose.
-
C was a 33 weeker and spent 2 weeks in the NICU (he had a lot of breathing issues at first, then jaundice and an infection, and had no latch for the first week, but rallied enough to come home before his due date). I pumped and put him to breast repeatedly while he was in the NICU and he eventually got the hang of BF.
-
35 weeks. He stayed for 13 days. I pumped while he was in the hospital but put him to breast as much as I could. We are 13 months out and still nursing strong. He was born with some scary breathing issues and had trouble keeping his body temp.
-
My daughter was born at 35 weeks, and spent less than a week in the hospital, partly because of jaundice (no NICU though).
-
O was born at 34 weeks exactly, we had a 17 day stay, mainly just for feeding/growing.
-
-
My son was born at 34+3 and spent 22 days in the NICU to feed/grow. He was even born 6lb 11oz. He only had one day of light therapy for jaundice but really had a hard time meeting the requirements of getting everything by mouth and not tube feeds.
-
Mine was 36W exactly and 4 lbs 6 oz. We were in the NICU for 10 days, mainly to make sure she was gaining weight and keeping her body temperature regulated.
-
32w, 2 months initially.
A good rule of thumb is that the baby will probably be in the NICU until they reach term (36-40w)
-
LO was 35 + 2, and had a 2 week stay in the NICU to gain weight. He was only 3 lbs 14 oz when born, and I think around 4 lbs 3 oz when we left.
-
My 31 +1 weeker was in the NICU a little over two weeks. Now he's a healthy, happy and total milestone hitting 15 month old
-
Dd1 was born at 34+5 and she spent 10 days in the NICU. Those were the longest days of my life
-
This doesn't quite count but we were 36+1 and went home after two days.
-
DS was exactly 36 weeks, so not quite what you're asking, and spent 7 days in the NICU. He had a CPAP to help him with his breathing for a little and had jaundice and temperature issues.
-
H was born at 35 weeks exactly and spent 10 days in the NICU with CPAP and NG tube.
-
My son was 35 weeks and only had a few hours in the nicu for observation. We went home after the typical 2 days.
-
I have DD at 36 week. 6 lb 3 oz no NICU time
-
Not LO, but I was born at 34 weeks and had no NICU time. Went home after the 4-5 days that was a normal hospital stay then.
-
36 weeks exactly and 5lbs 4oz. No NICU time at all.
-
Not LO, but I was born at 33.5 weeks. No NICU time; went home after normal c section stay.
-
My son was born at 27 weeks 4 days. We spent 76 days in the NICU which put him at the equivalent of 38 weeks.
-
This might be irrelevant since it was so long ago but my son was born at 35 weeks, no NICU time, we went home after 2 days. We did have to do tube feeding which is normal for 35 weekers.
-
I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I was born at 34 weeks at 5lbs- ish, and went home when my mom did- no NICU time.
-
D was born at 32 weeks and was in the NICU for 15 days.
