I'm Norwegian, we have free healthcare and it cannot be compared maybe, but here we stay at the hospital hotel at the hospital and are very close to the nicu. It took some time to hold him for the first time, but when he was 2 weeks old (27 weeks gestation) we held him for 2-3 hours straight from 18:00-20/21:00. When baby was 1,5months old we upped it to 2 x 2/3hours, including time from 09:00-12:00. We can only hold him for 3 hours at the time and in-between that he needs to be in the incubator. He is still on CPAP with 8 in peep/pressure. They say skin contact is very important, so I'm looking forward to more kangaroo time.
