Your doctor will talk to you about some specific issues of bringing your baby home. One of them is the vulnerability of your baby. For example, during the winter months when there are flu or respiratory viruses that your baby may be exposed to, it's very important to be sure that your baby is immunized against some of those viruses and also to make sure that your baby is not exposed to anyone with sick symptoms. So if anybody in the family has a runny nose or a cold, it is better not to expose your baby to such contact. In all other aspects, whether your baby is premature or term, the care will be fairly much the same - ensuring that your baby has a safe place to sleep; that your baby is placed on its back during sleep, or on its side; and to continue the medications, if your baby has received medications at the time of discharge, at a regular time day and night. Other than that, your baby will continue to feed and grow and will have a full life, whether premature or term. And your role is to be as nurturing as possible, to forget the intensiveness of the care in the hospital. You're now at home. Will be in a more quiet, suitable environment for optimizing his growth.
