How long does a premature baby weighing more than 4.3 pounds stay in the hospital?

Patient's question:

I am 36 weeks and one day pregnant, and I gave birth to a premature baby weighing 4 pounds and 3 ounces. I'm a bit worried, but the baby can drink 40 milliliters of formula. How long can I stay in the hospital? I'm a bit worried.

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description of the condition, premature infants can generally be discharged as long as various indicators gradually return to normal. For example, if the feeding amount, body temperature, and various treatments are within the normal range, it should be fine. It is recommended that parents pay attention and not rush the discharge based on the child's specific condition. If the discharge criteria are met, the hospital will inform you. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
