Question
Why is there a lack of nutrition in premature babies who are underweight and consume very little daily, and what should be done if they don’t drink milk?
Answer
Premature babies often have weaker suckling strength and poor reflexes, leading to a common phenomenon of lower dietary intake each day. It is necessary to place the baby in an incubator, simulating the environment of the mother’s uterus, to help them mature. An increase in food intake indicates that the baby is maturing, so patience is required. Wishing for the baby’s healthy growth!
