Question
My daughter is already a month old, and since she was premature, we’ve taken very careful and meticulous care of her. The doctor mentioned the possibility of long-term complications, which concerns me. Will premature babies have long-term complications? What should we be aware of in daily life?
Answer
Not all premature babies will have long-term complications. Some infants develop well later on and do not leave any long-term complications under normal circumstances. However, some infants may have developmental issues later on, leading to various long-term complications. Therefore, we need to be aware of the special vulnerabilities of premature babies and closely monitor their physical condition in daily life. If any abnormalities or discomforts are noticed, medical attention should be sought promptly.
