◆On a wonderful day in October, premature baby Yechan was discharged from the hospital in good health.
Yechan, who was born weighing 512g at Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital of the Catholic University of Korea on May 31st of this year, was discharged in good health weighing 3.68kg on October 29th after spending about 5 months in the hospital.
The average gestation period for a mother is usually 40 weeks, but Yechan came into the world after 22 weeks and 5 days in her mother’s womb. It was the first child born several years after marriage. The unexpected and sudden birth caused not only the mother but also the baby’s father and family to cry. The survival rate was about 30%, but I had hope that all the medical staff would do their best. Mom and Dad went to a naming office and asked for a name that would help them live healthily since they didn’t need any other meanings. I have been given the name ‘Yechani’, which means that I hope that I will move forward smoothly with wisdom and ability.
Professor Moon-yeon Oh of the Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, the attending physician, said, “I felt that the mother, whose first born baby was so small that she could not even touch it, was able to practice breastfeeding by holding the baby who was breathing on her own and sucking on a bottle well.”
