Patient's question:
I have some questions about infant and child health. Our baby is a premature infant and has been in an incubator since birth. Her entire body is very small, and her palm can hold her entire hand. What health precautions should be taken when premature infants are moved out of the incubator?Doctor's answer:
Since premature infants are relatively weak, they need to be fed with caution. It is essential to feed them scientifically and reasonably. If they are overfed, they should not be excessively or fixed. If they are overfed, they cannot digest it. Moreover, they must pay close attention to the child's warmth, avoiding being too hot, too cold, and excessively cold. They must dress the child in a small belly band because they are very small. At no time should their abdomen be exposed to cold.
