Patient's question:
My baby is premature, and they say he is very smart. Why are all premature babies so smart? I'm so worried, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Prematurity also means that the child is born before reaching full term. Generally, liveborn infants delivered before 37 weeks of gestation are referred to as premature or underdeveloped. Most of them weigh less than 2500 grams and have a head circumference of less than 33 centimeters. Special care should be given to premature infants whose organ function and adaptability are inferior to those of full-term infants. Due to the rapid growth and development of premature infants, proper feeding is more important than for full-term infants. Prematurity is not directly related to intelligence.
