Just like any other bub really - some are discharged with medications, some have additional nurse visits, additional paediatrician visits but generally they are just a normal bub only smaller as bubs usually won't be allowed home until they are off all tubes etc and no longer require all the interventions that they have had during their hospital stay.

We were initially told DD would be in hospital for 6 weeks (so until her due date) but she was only in hospital for 15 days (even though they were the longest 15 days of my life). But once we got her home we didn't really treat her any differently (not that we have any other children to compare to though). We were a bit more cautious if people were sick - but I guess any parent would do that. I always made sure she was covered in the cooler weather (it was August so end of winter).
