Segev

General #1

Segev was born at 11/06/2018 preterm, 35+5 weeks. He needed inhaling for 2 weeks, and assisted oxygen for additional 2 weeks Segev was hospitalized at the NICU for 120 days, and was released when he managed to consume about 60 kcal/kg from the bottle. I found about this website when segev was about 2 month, and I wanted to start treating Segev according to the recommendations you can find here, the NICU team wasn't cooperative about supplementing, so we only stated those when he was released from the NICU. Segev started GH at about 2 month, and we didn't see any immediate impact. His formula was changed to Infatrini, which contains MCT, at about 3 month. we saw a change in alertness (moderate one) within 2 days. Segev was released from NICU at percentile 5 (length and weight). Once we went out of NICU we started supplementing with additional MCT, B12 complex, Omega-3, carnitine fumarate, acetyl carnitine, whey, lactoferrin, probiotics. next paragraphs will contain more detailed information. Segev climbed percentiles slowly. By 6 month he was hospitalized twice due to sickness due to the PWS malfunctioning immune system. One of the most interesting things I learned about during this 1st half year, is the Histamine H3R inverse-agonist for PWS hypothesis. I think it is a must read if you're already here.

12/2018 : 1-6 month

summary of the things I remember from the first half year Segev started physiotherapy at ~1 month, at the NICU. First once a week, than every day, than twice a day (we did it, supported by the team). Started feeding therapy at ~2 month, at the beginning he didn't consume a drop, it took about a month to go to 15 ml/feeding and another month to go to 40 ml/feeding (30min x6 feedings/day) We put music in his NICU crib (mostly romantic era) and played it a few hours a day.

01/2019 : 7 month

Segev is 7 month, 7.5[Kg] and 68[cm]. This is about 20% percentile for both length and weight. Milestone wise: good eye tracking (very early),
