I'd say no only because Ella came at 34 weeks due to a placenta abruption. It was a very quick and traumatic experience and i definately think she would have been much more happy staying snug in Mum for a bit longer (rather than a humidy crib). She did attach well to the breast and we had a fabulous b/f relationship from the start - but as she was very tiny she would tire and therefore needed tube feeding. I don't think any baby is ready to come that early and be seperated from their mum for several weeks.
