Does a ten-day premature birth affect a child's growth and development?

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child. I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with this series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will become worse. Please ask if a ten-day premature birth has an impact on the child's growth and development.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this depends on the specific degree of hypoxia. Mild cases may have little impact, while severe cases may lead to some sequelae. If the child is a premature baby but the nervous system is not significantly affected, and there are no complications at birth, such as ischemic hypoxic encephalopathy, asphyxia, or severe infections, it may not be necessary for everyone to receive brain nutrition supplements. However, if there are the aforementioned complications, some brain nutrition supplements may still be required.
