Wise Ones,
I seldom see babies in this situation so I thought I'd ask those who know.............
Premature baby born at 25 weeks gestation. Hospital is giving glucose water via IV.
Is this typical? How soon might breastmilk feeds begin via gastric tube (or other route)? I know every situation is different with a baby this early, but ballpark, or signs to look for. Parents very much wanting to get breastmilk into baby, but this is WAY beyond what I usually deal with. They've contacted me as an acquaintance who can help them decipher what they're hearing at the hospital.
Many thanks,
