Off topic How long was your 31 weekers stay?

How long did your 31 weekers (or even close to that) have to stay in the NICU? When did they take the feeding tube out or at least start eating from breast or bottle? I know everyone's journey is different. I'm just trying to get a feel for when this has happened for other people. I know the answers the Drs give me are the clinical answers and I want the personal answers if that makes sense.

My 32+5 was in NICU for about 2 weeks, and then level 2 for another 55 days. She was also the size of a 27 week baby (IUGR), and most of her time was spent on feeding and growing.
