How to care for premature babies at 30 weeks

1. Keep warm

The room temperature should be maintained at 20-25℃, the temperature of the quilt should be maintained at 30-32℃, and the room should be ventilated frequently by opening windows. When changing a baby's diaper, be quick so as not to let the child get cold. When the baby weighs less than 2.5 kg, there is no need to take a bath. You can use vegetable oil to wash the baby's neck, armpits, inner thighs and other folds every 2-3 days. If the baby weighs more than 3 kg and drinks 100 ml of milk each time, it can be bathed like a healthy newborn baby.

2. Carefully raise

Premature infants gain weight quickly, so nutrition should be provided promptly, preferably with exclusive breastfeeding. During hospitalization, the mother can express milk and have the nurse feed the baby, and then she can breastfeed immediately after returning home. The amount of milk to drink can be determined according to the weight of the child. Generally speaking, 150-180 ml of milk is needed per kilogram of weight per day. A baby weighing 2.5 kg can be fed 350-450 ml per day. Breastfeed 7-9 times a day or on demand.
