1. Clean the skin frequently.
Many parents have misunderstandings. They think that premature babies are weak and afraid of catching a cold, so they should take fewer baths. "In fact, premature babies have thin skin and are more susceptible to bacterial infections, so cleanliness is more important." She said that the temperature in Guangdong is high, even in winter, heating can ensure the room temperature, so there is no need to worry that children will feel cold. Pay special attention to wrinkles when cleaning. * * * After changing diapers, wash and dry diapers with clear water in time. Clean your mouth with cold boiled water to prevent oral infection.
2. Control the frequency of feeding and the proportion of mixed milk.
Because premature babies usually enter ICU and leave their mothers for a long time, they are basically fed artificially or mixed after discharge. During hospitalization, hospitals usually prepare milk powder for premature babies. It is understood that in developed countries such as Europe and America, premature infants and low birth weight infants generally use milk powder or liquid milk specially for premature infants, but there is no such product in the domestic market at present. In this regard, Yang Jie said that premature infants can use ordinary milk powder at home, but parents must master the proportion of blending. When feeding with a bottle, the nipple hole should not be too big, otherwise the milk will flow too fast, which will easily lead to choking or even suffocation. But the nipple hole should not be too small, so as not to suck the milk hard and cause fatigue. Premature infants with poor sucking and swallowing ability can be fed with a dropper with a rubber tube. After feeding, the baby can lie on his side, so that even if he spits milk, it is not easy to choke, which can prevent the vomit from inhaling into the trachea and causing aspiration pneumonia or suffocation.
3. Do more touching and verbal communication, and give children some love.
According to reports, premature infants can start touching treatment after their condition is stable. After a certain period of time, it can significantly increase the intake of milk, head circumference, body length, blood protein and weight. "Touching can bring many benefits to the growth of premature infants and can be used as one of the comprehensive intervention measures for premature infants." Yang Jie introduced that touch is a passive movement, and skin contact can develop tactile nerves and motor nerves, which is beneficial to brain development. In the process of touching, it can enhance the parent-child relationship, let the children feel love and grow stronger. "However, it should be noted that the indoor temperature should be kept at 20℃~30℃ when touching. In addition, to choose a suitable time, it is generally better when the baby is awake 1~2 hours after eating, not when he is full or hungry or wants to sleep. "
4. Keep the home ventilated and put the baby in a crowded environment to avoid cross infection.
Yang Jie said that parents should happily take their babies home, have a big banquet, or accept home visits from relatives and friends, and try to avoid them in the early stage. Because premature babies have relatively weak resistance and are easily infected by the outside world, they have to go back to the hospital if they are not careful.
Be sure to take your child for regular review and early education according to the doctor's advice.
