Question
What measures should be taken if a preemie shows health problems at three months old?
Answer
Premature infants, due to their weaker resistance, should seek medical attention immediately upon falling ill and receive appropriate treatment after the cause is determined to prevent the disease from spreading to other infants. Since premature infants are not fully developed, parents should pay special attention to their care. Firstly, premature infants have weaker constitutions and underdeveloped digestive functions, so breastfeeding is recommended as the primary feeding method. Additionally, it is advisable to actively supplement vitamin D (often derived from cod liver oil) and ensure the baby gets plenty of sunlight exposure to promote healthy growth.
