Marmy - with our girls, the issue was they were premature enough that they didn't know how to suck. Then when they started doing that, they couldn't coordinate the sucking and breathing they needed to do. They were actually discharged home on NG tubes for feeding, and we kept that up for about two weeks afater we came home. For them, it was just a matter of getting old enough to be able to do what they needed to do.
It's got to be so hard for you having your baby still in the hospital after 54 days. I thought 29 days was unbearable! Little did I know. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope your little one will be home with you very, very soon.
