How to deal with slow weight gain in premature infants?

Patient's question:

31-week premature, born weighing 2.3 pounds, breastfed for 55 days (frozen milk sent to the hospital) (the child has been in the pediatric hospital incubator) now weighs 3.64 pounds, and has not gained weight in the past two days, currently still hospitalized for observation.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I'm glad to answer your question:
Hello, friend, I'm glad to explain it to you. Premature birth can lead to the underdevelopment of various systems, so the child grows slowly. Premature infants have underdeveloped systems, so their immunity is weaker. Additionally, being in an incubator for a long time does not leave any aftereffects and is beneficial for the child's growth. I hope my answer is helpful to you. Wishing you health and happiness. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me again.
