Oh dear. Sorry to hear this. Must admit I thought it was early to let them go home too, I thought they liked to keep them until they were close to 37 weeks?
Jaundice is a common problem, I hope it's just a mild case. Kayla had to go under the lights, but then hers went away. DS tho, who was born at 37 weeks had breastfeeding jaundice for a long time, but never needed the lights.
Weight loss.. that's pretty common too with prems. They're not meant to be burning all this energy eating and breathing and all that comes with being born. They should still just be floating and growing!
I hope she's not too disheartened. Tell her to hang in there, bub just needs time to rest and catch up with things. Hope it's all sorted soon for her. It's such a waiting game really with a prem.
