  That is very lucky!  Please advise her to do LOTS of skin to skin, swaddling, and limit a lot of exposure to unnecessary lights and sounds.  Sometimes preemies can be medically fine, but can later show signs of sensory issues from being exposed to too much too soon.

  Here is some information.  It refers to babies who have more medical issues than your friend's baby, but it discusses sensory integration and why preemies are at risk for problems later in life, even if they don't present at first.  Taking some simple measures early on could prevent problems later, although the baby may never have any problems at all, which is wonderful.

  Skin-to-skin and limiting exposure are easy things to do -- and good for ALL babies in those first weeks!
