Do full-term babies need to measure body temperature every day in the morning and evening?

Patient's question:

4-month full-term sample, does it need to live in an incubator? The baby's intestinal peristalsis, blood pressure, body temperature, and normal response level are normal. It just needs a small amount of milk. How long does it need to stay in the incubator? When can it come out?

Doctor's answer:

Keep warm. Those who are able should keep their body temperature within the normal range, so it is necessary to measure body temperature every morning and evening. Reduce energy consumption. Start milk as soon as possible to prevent hypoglycemia. Pay attention to monitoring blood sugar to detect hypoglycemia in a timely manner and provide treatment. Those with insufficient energy may be given partial intravenous nutrition. If necessary, transfer to the neonatal ICU for further treatment. Full-term samples are the most common type of small sample, weighing 25% less than normal weight for the same age, with gestational age between 38 and 42 weeks and weight less than 2500 grams.
