Question
After nearly half a month of treatment in the hospital, premature babies are discharged. What should parents pay attention to during home care?
Answer
Premature babies have weaker suckling power and require patience during feeding. For the first two to three days after discharge, it is not advisable to increase the amount of feeding per meal. They should be allowed to adapt to the home environment before gradually increasing the quantity. Reducing feeding volume and intermittent feeding can help lower the risk of vomiting and respiratory compression. Premature baby formula can be used to promote digestion and enhance nutrient absorption.
