Hi Ashlee, as others said at 34 weeks it's common for bub to be sleepy. My DS was born at 33+3weeks & best advice I got was from a NICU/SCBU nurse who said 'let him sleep it's when he does all his growing- better he grows sooner he will be home' After that I breast fed him when he woke by himself & NG fed him the other times- also if you learn the NG feed well some hospitals have an early release program (ask the dr & nurses)
Does your hospital have a PIPA (Preterm Infants Parents Association) support group. PIPA gave me a folder on the gestations & what was 'normal' helped me get through.
Best if luck! And may the hospital stay be short & uneventful!
