Question
A parent inquired about their child, who is a premature baby weighing just over two pounds at birth, and has now been discharged and is being cared for at home. They want to know what special care points to consider when looking after a premature baby.
Answer
For the care of premature babies, parents should pay special attention to the following points: Firstly, the room temperature should be adjusted to about 28 degrees, and the baby should be dressed in appropriate autumn clothing. Since the digestive system of premature babies may be more fragile, it is recommended to adopt a feeding method of small and frequent meals to avoid overfeeding. If completely breastfeeding, the mother should also pay attention to her own diet to ensure the quality of breast milk.
