It is unusual for babies that are not very premature to require any treatments after discharge. More premature babies may require supplemental oxygen, intermittent breathing treatments, or rarely, additional breathing support. Parents of babies with these needs will be trained prior to discharge and often spend one to two days and nights in the hospital with their baby prior to discharge. Sometimes a home nurse may assist or check in regarding the care of the baby after discharge.
