Our DS was born around that gestation. First thing first, my DS is now a happy healthy 18 month old now

he will need to go to the SCN, possibly the NICU. He may need air, he may need to be in a humi crib. Kangaroo care should be possible - encourage her to ask about it. He may not be strong enough to breastfeed, but can have EBM via a tube. The rest she will have to face as it comes, nothing can prepare you, but get her to speak to a paed, chances are she has spoken to them already, but get her to talk to them again if she cant remember what they said.

What she will need from you: congratulate her on the birth of her son the same way you would a full term bubba. Keep her postive, there maybe days he takes one step forward, two back - she will need you to help keep her strength up. Ask for lots of photos, it will encourage her to take some - many parents in the NICU forget to do this in the early days.

sorry thats all I canthink of right now- all the best to your friend and her little man.
