Premature babies are often fed intravenously, or through tubes inserted into one of the baby's veins. This 'IV nutrition' is critical for helping your baby get stronger. Learn how this process works, and how you can keep your breast milk supply up so that when baby is ready he can make the transition to breastfeeding.
Premature and/or sick babies have a greater risk of infection. Make sure you prepare yourself and your baby's visitors for keeping the NICU environment safe and healthy.
