Patient's question:
Bao was born prematurely, and now it has been more than a month since his birth. I feel that he has difficulty seeing things. When I attract his attention in front of him, it seems like he doesn't notice me at all. I don't know if it's because he can't see what I'm doing or if he's not paying attention to my actions. Moreover, he naps all day and doesn't cry much.What kind of assistance is needed: Does the visual development of premature infants lag behind? Besides premature infants, what else should be noted?
Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, premature infants have poorer adaptability and slower organ function development compared to full-term children. Therefore, parents need to be well aware of the characteristics of premature infants when feeding and changing diapers. When feeding, pay attention not to make the milk too hot and avoid feeding too quickly to allow the child to gradually recover. When caring for premature infants, never be impatient—be meticulous, observe the child's changes carefully but avoid excessive anxiety. Maintain scientific care, have confidence, and then your child will surely grow up healthy.
