Q.
Is 37 weeks considered as preterm ? By baby was born at 37 weeks, 2.5 kg. He was not taken to NICU after birth but developed jaundice later and then shifted to NICU. He also had problem in sucking breast milk which he learnt after 2 weeks. Are these problems happened because of early delivery ? I had immediate c section due to water breakage.
