My baby was born at 25 weeks of gestation. How long will she remain in the newborn ICU?
There is not a specific length of time that a baby born 15 weeks early needs to stay in the hospital. For tiny babies, we often tell you to expect to have your baby home about the time of your due date. This is because many of the things she needs to learn to do before coming home like being able to take all her feeds by breast or bottle and keep herself warm outside an incubator will fall into place as she nears term gestation. The staff will help you watch for signs that your daughter is getting close to coming home and make sure you are ready.
