Caffeine Isn’t the Magic Ticket for Preemies

Turns out, giving preemie babies extra caffeine doesn’t actually get them home from the hospital any faster! A big JAMA study found that while caffeine helps these little ones stop having apnea sooner, it doesn’t shorten their hospital stay. Docs might want to rethink the whole ‘more caffeine = quicker discharge’ idea. Feeding readiness is just as key for getting those tiny patients home. Interesting twist for anyone following NICU care! #PreemieCare #NICU #CaffeineStudy #ParentingNews #MedicalResearch #Health
