<< Is this baby at home after 8 days? I realise that in the US hospital stays
 are much shorter, but this baby was still 5 weeks early. And 4lb (1800g to
 me) is a low weight baby to be taking home. >>
Yes the baby is home, went home on the 7th day and has two terrified parents
bearing the responsibility of this lovely little girl. Im not surprised that
the baby went into shutdown mode on d/c day at all...Parents also had to take
this little baby out to see the pediatrician at 5PM last night for
check-up.... it's nuts. Maybe Im way off, but I told the parents that A LOT
is being expected here, and that if mom could hang in there til baby gets
around her due date, things may be working much better and if not, then she
put in a damn good effort!
