Being the mother of triplets, I seldom visit Aydan since I also have the other two babies to take care of at home. While at home, I kept on stocking up breastmilk for Aydan to be sent to hospital when I visit him once in every 2-3 days. Husband n I noticed that when we didn't visit and just gave a call to hospital to ask for his current weight, he didn't gain much. So yeah, human touch and love can promote baby's growth especially when they are premature or need special care.
When we visited Aydan, his weight increased from 1.62kg to 1.69kg...then when we didn't, his weight was up and down in between 1.69-1.68kg..then when we came again, the next day when he was due for weighing, he was 1.7+kg, then he gained more till 1.82kg on the day he was discharged.
