It’s hard to believe that such a tiny little lady was born at 27 weeks and 4 days, weighing only 2 pounds 3 ounces. She is doing amazing, and her parents have been blessed to have a relatively easy journey so far. With their patience, love and dedication to providing the best care for their precious daughter, they are just waiting for her to reach her full term baby requirements before she can go home.
The Premature Journey
When a newborn is born prematurely, there are many things that need to be taken into consideration. Parents may face challenges of feeding difficulties due to immature sucking reflexes and oral motor issues, as well as difficulty breathing due to underdeveloped lungs. In addition, preemies may experience temperature instability from not being able to regulate body heat on their own yet. As with any newborn baby, parents will want to make sure that their preemie receives all the necessary nutrients for optimal growth and development.
The Road Ahead for Preemie Babies
Fortunately this little lady has had no major complications since her early arrival into the world. With continued loving care from her parents and medical team, she will soon reach the milestones of a full-term baby before heading home with her family. She may still require extra attention in order to ensure that she reaches all of these milestones in a safe manner; this could include physical therapies or other treatments in order to help strengthen her physical abilities. And while she continues on her journey towards becoming a healthy full-term baby, it will be important for both parents and medical staff alike to provide support throughout every stage of development along the way.
This little lady is proof that with dedication and patience anything is possible - even when it comes down to something as miraculous as watching your newborn grow from 2 pounds 3 ounces all the way up until they reach full-term baby requirements! I wish this beautiful family nothing but good health and happiness on this special journey!
