Parents should control the temperature of the growth environment of premature infants at 24℃~26℃ and the humidity at 55%~65%. Parents can put a basin full of water in the room, which can make the indoor air cleaner and help premature babies breathe. Clothes for premature babies should be light, warm and soft. Take the temperature of premature infants every 4~6 hours, reduce unnecessary exercise and turn over, and don't let them play.
Vitamin supplement
Premature babies grow and develop faster than normal babies. Because they lack vitamins and trace elements, they should supplement vitamins A, B, C, E, K, and trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper and iron. Breastfeeding is better. If there is no or insufficient breast milk, you need to choose milk powder specially made for premature infants.
3. Prevention of infection
If a premature baby is cared for by a specialized medical staff in the premature room of the hospital after birth, parents need not worry too much, just follow the instructions of the medical staff. If you are at home, avoid too much contact with premature babies and avoid kissing and touching. Caregivers should wash their hands frequently and wear masks.
feed
Because the sucking ability of premature infants is not as good as that of full-term infants, they should be more patient when feeding. Generally, the feeding time is about half an hour. If the premature baby just moved home from the hospital, the diet should be the same as when he was in the hospital. Environmental changes will have an impact on the intestines and stomach of premature infants, so that premature infants can have an adaptation process, and they can choose to feed according to their family situation in a few days.
check
Check back to the hospital regularly to ensure the healthy growth of premature infants.
