Question

Will a short hand in premature babies affect their future height?

Answer

Generally, a child’s brain development occurs within the first one or two years after birth. If the child receives adequate nutrition and appropriate trace elements during this period, it will not affect the child’s intelligence. However, if the child is born prematurely, has congenital developmental issues, and does not receive proper supplementation later on, it can impact the child’s intellectual development. Therefore, attention should be paid to the child’s nutrition.
