"AND does anyone have any ideas WHY the 37 weeker is not considered a
late
preterm babe!? Seems they fail as much as the 36 weeker!!"
Kerry and all,
~~~ I have begun thinking of babies even born at 38 and 38 1/2 weeks,
depending on their behavior and skills, as near-term, or late-preterm,
babies. I
wonder if this is because we are looking so much more closely for true
competence. If the delineations are based on larger medical issues of not
needing respiratory support, being able to appear to coordinate
bottlefeeding ( artificial feeding) - which is often quite poor with the
bottles and
artificial nipples US hospitals use and give away to moms -, then it
seems
the standards are much more lax. I know I am being "more picky" or have a
higher standard of comfort and competence. Make sense?
Peace,
Judy
