Question
Due to an accident during pregnancy, the baby was prematurely born at eight months. After receiving hospital incubation treatment, the baby is about to be discharged. What should be paid attention to when feeding premature babies?
Answer
Hello. According to your description, the child should have reached the normal physiological standards of a full-term baby before discharge. It is recommended that in this situation, special attention should be paid to the child’s temperature and stool condition, regularly measuring the child’s temperature and observing for symptoms such as diarrhea. If breastfeeding is adopted, the mother should choose light meals and avoid consuming stimulating food.
