    It would be in your better interest to ask a pediatrician something like that.  Most of us would be just venturing guesses.  An incident that serious should be directed to a professional.

    pets I am so sorry to hear this about yor grandson just remember he is in the best place .....I must point out that we are not Doctors on this site....all we can do is give advise..... please ask the Doctors who are looking after him and wish the best for all your family

    Because premies have weaker muscle control than newborns, sometimes when they are sitting up their chin drops too far into their chest and they cut off their own airway, and they don't have the muscle strength to lift their chin back up.  Most hospitals do a car seat study for babies born more than 4 weeks early to monitor their ability to maintain head control when in a sitting position.  The test simply entails putting the baby on a monitor and then place them in their carseat for 60-90 minutes and monitor their heart rate and breathing.  If they do not pass this test, rolled up baby blankets can be used to stablize their head, and if that doesn't work, some babies will have a car bed ordered for them so they can be in the laying position for all car rides.

    He,s in the best place for him at the moment, ask the pediatritian about his health.

    You actually take time to come onto the computer and post this?????????  Why is no one taking the baby to the hospital???????

    he is still in hospital never left since he was born
