Hi All, A quick question. When your baby moved from CPAP to nasal prongs, did your baby lost weight? and how long did it take for the baby to recover and start gaining weight again? Appreciate any information you can provide. Thank You.

Hi eedaddy, I just read your message and I was thinking of the anguish that you and your wife are going through. I was however comforted by the fact that your baby does not have NEC. I will pray for your son that he recovers from the infection and in the meantime, stay strong and...
