Hi, this is my first post on the sub. Yesterday my daughter Consuelo was born, and as a father i'm as happy as i can be, being she the beautiful girl that she is.
She had some issues with breathing in the first seconds, but the doctors helped her and now she doesn't even need air support. However, the doctor told us that she is going to be in intensive care for the first month, because of her cardiac condition (which seems to be fine but needs monitoring) and to supervise that she can eat well.
I wanna know if other parents/siblings of DS kids have any advice on going through this phase of the care. I prepared with my partner for the early estimulation and healthcare in the house, so i would like to hear what others have to say in regards of being for my daughter in the hospital.
Also wanted to add that i'm from Chile, so advice that may seem obvious in other developed countries still works for me.
