A member asked:
My baby is in nicu from 2months her born weight was 780grams now her weight is 1080gram can we bring her home?

The medical team that takes care of her would be in best position to answer your question. There is much more than just weight that is being watched, as it sounds she is making progress. Asking the treating team about goals prior to discharge may alleviate some of the anxiety related to the timing of the discharge.
