Very Good Sylvia! My mom didn't want to stay with hers at first but she did much better after a few days. Remember what I said about keeping them warm. It should be 85 degrees where the babies are for the first week, then 80 the next, then about 75 until they are a bit bigger. Even if it feels warm to you, the baby will die quickly if it gets cool. If the baby starts acting sluggish or stops nursing chances are he is cold. Seriously use a receiving blanket or something to keep him covered.
