I can't wait to read a birth announcement! As the others have said, 4 weeks early is not a lot. My DS2 was 4 weeks early, but still weighed 6pd 8oz. He was able to bf from birth (which my full term DS1 was not able to do!!). He didn't need to go into SCN immediately, but they did put him in there a few hours later when he didn't want a feed at 2am. There was really no need for him to go into SCN and even the nurses there said that, it was just our paed being over-cautious. If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have let them take him.

The main issue with DS was jaundice. It was only mild, but as a precaution they kept us in hossy for 5 days. I was dying to go home and everything, including feeding was going well, but they kept us there jic he turned bright orange overnight - he didn't!! He had a little bit of oxygen at birth but great Apgars.

Best of luck to your sister and family.
