Default Premmie bub at home on oxygen?

DS was born at 25+1 weeks weighing 800 grams. During his first 6 weeks of life, he contracted 3 life threatening infections and was ventilated for a lengthy period of time which contributed to his diagnosis of Chronic Lung Disease.

DS is currently 36+5 and has been taken off CPAP on to High Flow (flow of 3-6 and O2 of 25%) due to failed attempts on Low Flow. He currently weighs 2953 grams and is breast feeding well so, the next step is to slowly wean him off high flow onto low in preparation for him to come home.

Just wondering how people dealt with their premmie bubs coming home on oxygen and what was your day to day routine like?
