My baby is 5 days old and was born exactly at 34 weeks gestation. She weighed 5lbs 8oz at birth and has not been on any type of breathing machine but went to the NICU because she was earlier than 35 weeks. She is no longer on IV fluids and she is eating from a bottle (both breast milk and formula), she's never had a feeding tube in although there was talk of it because she's a slow's eater and sometimes doesn't eat all the cc's she's required. She had 1 apnea I believe, and has had a few Dsat's and bradycardias. She mostly has had the Dsat's. I am so worried. Doctors seem to think she is doing fine and is stable but for a mommy this is so worrisome. She is in an incubator as well. Any advice for a first time single mommy?
 
Those are completely normal -- and terrifying! She will outgrow them very soon! :hugs:
