I had 5 living of 6 on the 6th of January also. Three of them were 3 oz, 1 was 3.2 and the biggest 3.5 oz. 3 girls and 2 boys. One of the little boys was crying and breathing with a little noise and a runny nose.

As I said I put them under a heat lamp...but also humidifier. Then I got aged garlic juice and gave all and mom a drop and probiotic. Then I aspirated his nose then snuggled him in my bra to get him really warm.

His breathing is normal now and no crying but still a bit of runny nose. I will give him more garlic tomorrow and probiotic. But he gained .6 ounce which was about his largest one day gain. So I agree to not give up on her, pray for her and give her lots of warmth and moisture in air so not to get dehydrated. Just what worked for me.

It is not easy but don't give up.
