What should be paid attention to when feeding premature infants

Patient's question:

I was pregnant with my baby when an accident occurred, which led to my baby being born prematurely at about eight and a half months. After birth, the baby stayed in the hospital's incubator for a long time. Now it's time to be discharged. What should I pay attention to when feeding a premature baby?

Doctor's answer:

Hello. According to your description, children generally reach normal physiological standards of infants after being hospitalized and before discharge. In this case, it is recommended to pay more attention to the child's body temperature and stool condition. Measure the child's temperature regularly and observe whether there is diarrhea or other symptoms. If breastfeeding, the mother should prioritize a light diet and avoid stimulating foods.
