I don't know about premies, but here's some general advice, and you may already have been told this:
Lay her to sleep on her back or side, not her stomach.
I would also suggest using a sleep sack instead of a blanket at night(it's like a sleeping bag that they wear- you can find them at Babies R Us-when you use blankets you risk it getting up around her face)
Don't let anyone smoke around her.
You may want to take the bumper pads out of her bed and use a breathable bumper if she sleeps in her bed at night. When I checked on my son one night, he had rolled over and had his face down in his bumper pad- it scared me and I got him a breathable bumper instead. I use the other ones now that he's past a year old; I'm not as nervous as I was. I'm not sure where you can find a breathable bumper because my sister-in-law gave me hers, but you can probably go to Google and find it.
Talk to your baby always, sing, and read books.

How big is your baby now?

he weighs about 5lbs now
and about 18 inches long, hes
absoulutly adorable even though
he's small! he has to have this
special bassnet thing so no bumpers
with my other children i went crazy with
themes, and matching. i had a bumber to go
with every sheet! i would be going crazy just
tying every little string so i'm happy i'm over
that. i'm very scared to bring him home because i
know he can sick very easily and i have school age kids in the house

Hi LilyA...I have no advice on premies but I do wish you all the best for you and your baby! Just take things one day at a time!
Good luck! Let us know how you are doing.
