I agree, I think you should polietly express your concerns, even ask your pedi if you could touch him more, or at least ask the reasons why you cant, specially, what will happen to him and can you possibly base it on his heart rate and such.<br /><br />I agree that touch is very stimulating and yes, Liam wouldnt be receiving as much stimulation right now if he was still in the womb, therefore I understand the long sleep periods and such, but if he is alert and even interacting with you by turning towards your voice, which is HUGE, then you should be able to interact back as well with a touch.<br /><br />I know some research points strongly to preemies being placed on their moms and dads chest for physical contact.<br /><br />Please let me know if you need anything. I can also get you in touch with other parents or you can contact Beth Oldam at Siskin Children's Instistute-Downtown. 648-1700Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08692002093725293884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845929576010472592.post-15335720250937936362009-11-10T07:41:28.643-05:002009-11-10T07:41:28.643-05:00WOW...

I hope you can drive soon so you can spend more time with your son. I hope he make great progress in the coming weeks...Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09883731165948045182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845929576010472592.post-31588362490217815572009-11-09T12:27:06.520-05:002009-11-09T12:27:06.520-05:00Look at those perfect little toes in that picture....Look at those perfect little toes in that picture.<br /><br />I can't imagine someone telling me that touching my baby was bad for her. I think you're controlling yourself better than I would.<br /><br />One day at a time... Celebrate the little victories and take deep breaths as the setbacks come. That's really all one can do sometimes.Mommy Boots (formerly KarmaPearl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00909658798101540975noreply@blogger.com
