Welcome to BB Kate and congrats on the birth of your little man Max.
Our little Willow was born at 30 weeks and spent 7 weeks in hospital (1 week in the NICU and 6 weeks in the SCN) Willow had 4 attempts off CPAP before she finally did it.
All the Mums and Dads that have had a premmie bub/s know how hard it can be watching there little ones struggle, there will be ups and down. I think thats just part of life in the NICU. Take alot of pics, have alot of holds, to let Max know that your there for him (If you can hold him) as that will help you too.
Anyway stay well and wishing you and little Max good luck for his trial off CPAP
Please let us know how he goes if you can.
