Question
My child was born at 31 weeks premature, weighing 1.25 kg at birth. They reached 1.4 kg at 19 days and only left the oxygen and breathed on their own at 20 days. Now, at 22 days, they weigh 1.41 kg. Is this normal?
Answer
Such a weight is common in preemies and generally causes no concern. It is advisable to observe closely, as there are more risks for such a young child. It is recommended to continue treatment in the hospital for a few more days.
