Patient's question:
My baby is a premature infant. He has been in the hospital for nearly half a month. Today, he was discharged. I would like to ask, when caring for a premature infant at home, what are the key points to pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Due to insufficient suction, premature infants should be fed patiently. For infants who have just returned home from the hospital, the feeding amount per meal should not be increased in the first two or three days, but should be gradually increased after adapting to the home environment. Eating less and intermittent feeding can reduce the occurrence of vomiting and respiratory compression. Premature infant formula can be used to promote digestion and increase nutrient absorption.
