welcome hun, congrats on baby Max he looks like a wee cutie!

Like in NICU has many good and bad days put all the parents on here have nothing but success stories to share, hopefully this 'infection' is a minor setback and my tomo his body has had enough rest that he'll prove he's ready to move into the big boy room. We are all here for you sweetie in whatever way you need us xx

Hello welcome to this forum. Your little one is gorgeous and a good weight for his gestation! My LO was 26+3 and weighed 2lb oz. She is four months and three weeks old and keeping me on more toes still. She had infections which caused bradys and apneas, in fact she was labelled the queen of bradys and apneas. She used to give me and all the nurses a fright and keep them on their toes. Our prem babies like to frighten us that is for sure.
It sounds like Max might have an infection if he is having bradys, their little bodies have to fight so hard.

Did you have a placenta abruption? I did which is why EMily was premature?

If you ever want to PM me about anything please do...like all the wonderful mums on here, we are here for you...x

welcome! Sounds like he is doing well. Molly was a similar weight, 2lb 4oz at 29 weeks so he has a good start! Molly was on and off CPAP for a while, its not uncommon for them to have little 'setbacks'. I think sometimes they just need a rest! Keep us up to date with how he is getting on

Hi and welcome.
Max looks like a proper cutie. Look forward to more pics and hope he gets stronger every day xxx

Hi

Welcome to the forum! Glad to see little Max is holding his own, I agree with embojet-sometimes they just need a little rest to get their energy back!

My daughter also weighed only 2lb 4oz at birth at 32 weeks, they soon bounce back and he'll probably suprise you by coming on in leaps and bounds!

We are thinking of you xx
