Glaucoma results from high pressure inside the eye that causes damage to the optic nerve. This condition typically happens slowly, progressing over a number of years. Doctors detect glaucoma by examining the back of the eye and measuring the intraocular pressure.
You can breastfeed your baby for as long as you want. When you stop breastfeeding, itâs called weaning your baby. Some babies begin weaning on their own between 6 and 12 months as they start eating solid food and become more active. Weaning is a slow process that doesn't happen in a few days.
However, in cases where a baby is born prematurely, a mother might not be allowed to breastfeed her baby. Most premature newborns, between 25-29 weeks gestational age, are fed intravenously or through a tube. So if you are planning to breastfeed, you should tell your doctor and nurses immediately after the birth.
