Are there any precautions to take when caring for premature infants?

Patient's question:

My child is a premature baby. When he was born, he weighed only a little over two pounds. My husband and I care very much for the baby. Now the baby has come home from the hospital for care. I want to ask if there are any experienced mothers who know what precautions to take when caring for premature babies?

Doctor's answer:

According to the specific situation you described, premature babies are very weak. Parents must take good care of them. First, the indoor temperature must be adjusted to around 28 degrees, and then the baby can wear a set of autumn clothes and pants. The digestive system of premature babies may not be very good. Parents must pay attention not to eat too much. It is better to eat less and more often. Parents who are fully breastfeeding should also pay attention to their diet.
