Question
How Long Will a 31+3 Weeks Premature Baby Stay in an Incubator?
Answer
Generally, a baby born at 32 weeks gestation is estimated to remain in the incubator for about 5 to 8 weeks. The room temperature should be maintained at 24 degrees, with the relative humidity between 55 to 65%. Clothing should be soft, warm, and easy to put on. For feeding, breastfeeding is preferred; if not possible, use a special premature formula milk. Also, supplement with calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin C, and cod liver oil. In addition, it is necessary to prevent infections such as pneumonia and gray baby syndrome. Sulfonamide drugs should not be used.
