Patient's question:
Our child is premature, so in terms of physical functions, they are not as good as those born at full term. I would like to ask what precautions should be taken for a premature baby who is one month old. After all, the child was born earlier than others, and their development is bound to be less advanced in various aspects, so we need to pay attention to everything.Doctor's answer:
Premature infants should first focus on nutrition. If they drink formula, it is recommended to use special formula for premature infants so that the baby's height and weight can catch up. Then, when the baby's weight can keep pace with that of same-aged infants, they can be switched to regular formula.Secondly, early intervention should be provided for cognitive and motor development. Passive exercises and active massages should be performed on the infant daily, along with additional auditory training. Regular check-ups at pediatric health departments are important to detect developmental delays and intervene promptly.
