35 weeks and 5 lbs and no episodes is the rule of thumb for release. this is week 34, he’s 4 lb 10.7 oz, and he hasn’t had episodes, but he needs to figure out how to eat yet. He needs to have the feeding tube removed and be able to get his food orally. I got to hold him for the first time last night which was pretty amazing.
The little babies seem to need simple holding and cuddling.
That feeding tube/breathing tube must be uncomfortable.
Awww. He is coming along. So cool you got to hold him.
I know how precious every moment with them is! I’m so glad he is doing so well.
