Thanks for the query.
I can understand your concern.
No one can time the recovery.
It depends on multiple factors like prematurity, birth weight, is there any infection or not.
As baby is very low birth weight baby and also premature it can take long time like 1-2 month or even longer.
Hope i helped you.
