Question

How should I handle the illness of my three-month-old premature male baby at home?

Answer

Generally, due to their weaker immune system, premature infants should seek medical attention immediately upon falling ill and receive appropriate treatment after the cause is determined to prevent transmission to other babies. Since premature babies have not fully developed, parents are advised to pay special attention to their care. Firstly, premature infants have weaker constitutions and underdeveloped digestive functions, so breastfeeding is the best choice. Additionally, it is recommended to actively supplement vitamin D and ensure the baby gets plenty of sunlight.
