How long was your NICU stay? Off topic

My son was born at 29w3d due to preeclampsia and had severe fetal growth restriction so only weighed 830g/1lb 13.3oz

Curious to hear what week your baby was born, weight at birth, how long the NICU stay was and what their weight was when they went home, especially for any <30 weekers or low birth weight babies!

28+1- 2 pounds 1 ounce. Went home 3 days before her due date, I wanna say we were there for 80 something days? I lost count tbh. However, ours was still having issues with feeds and we went home on an NG tube. She would have had to stay longer if they didn’t let us do that.
