@religiondoctor I agrée with others. For her LO, every day at daycare might feel like a “Monday”. I’d try 3 consecutive days. Are other kids in her class full time and is she missing out on other activities that they get to do? At that age, she likely wouldn’t pick up on that but just asking...

@jesusrocksjose777 There’s a book titled Preemie that has so much valuable information. Here’s my tips (first was 27weeker): -take one day at a time -talk with nurses and find a few in day and night shifts you like. Ask them to be your care team for consistency. -get to know the charge...
