The biggest difference between premature babies and normal newborn babies is that they can't wait to leave their mother's stomach and come into this world before full term. Because it is not full-term, it is prone to "congenital deficiency" and "acquired weakness". Parents should pay attention to the following issues when feeding:
1, be sure to give breast milk to premature babies.
Compendium of Materia Medica records: "Raw milk is flat and sweet, which can tonify spleen and kidney ... it is the essence of milk". However, it turns out that colostrum contains far more nutrients than the later period, which is especially suitable for premature infants and newborn babies. It can play a role in tonifying deficiency and strengthening the body and help them spend the first few weeks smoothly.
If the baby can't be with his mother in NICU due to physical reasons, you might as well use a breast pump and other tools to press the milk into the bottle for the baby to eat.
If the premature baby can only eat milk powder first for some reason, then the mother must be patient and help the baby switch from milk powder to breast milk. If necessary, the mother can put a bottle with a straw next to * *, let the baby suck alternately, gradually reduce the number of times of sucking straws, and finally only breastfeed the baby.
In the process of feeding with milk substitute, we should pay close attention to whether the baby has indigestion symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, constipation and abdominal distension.
