early kids: I was able to take him home after 12 days as the hospital we were transferred to had room for me to board so I could BF him every feed. I spent 3 or 4 days boarding then the 2 days of rooming in. When he was born he was breathing fast so they just took him to the SCN where he was in the incubator thingy for only 24 hours then he was happy breathing on his own. I had GD so they had to put a canula in his little arm for sugar water just in case, and he had that apnea monitor on his chest just in case. He pulled the canula out after 3 days I think. He pulled the tube out of his nose once or twice, luckily couldn't get his hands on the apnea machine Was so horrible seeing him like that but then the tubes started coming out and every one that came out was like a step towards him being strong enough to come home so it was a good feeling.
