Question
My newborn was born prematurely at 37 weeks, weighing about 5 pounds, and was immediately sent to the neonatal intensive care unit. After a week, they were discharged. I want to know if the development of premature babies is the same as that of full-term babies.
Answer
Premature babies have a higher incidence of retinopathy and may have different development. It is recommended to undergo regular eye examinations.
