HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, for the premature baby it is all depends upon the general condition of baby, respiratory system, neurological responses are the matter of concern, if baby is doing well then soon it will be taken out of CPAP, else it may not be said anything without the examination, you need to have a word with neonatologist who is taking care of baby hope this information helps.
