What should premature babies eat to enhance their immunity? What are the symptoms of premature babies' developmental delay?

The physical constitution of premature babies is worse than that of ordinary babies, so more attention should be paid to the baby's diet and care. Therefore, mothers like to supplement their children with various vitamins to enhance their baby's resistance.

Premature infants have poor resistance, so it is best to breastfeed. The nutrients in breast milk are comprehensive and rich, and breast milk is also very easy for children to absorb, so breastfeeding is the most suitable feeding method for premature infants. If the premature infant has poor resistance, the mother should strengthen the supplement of nutritious food when breastfeeding, and eat more foods rich in protein, vitamins and dietary fiber. Reasonable adjustment of eating habits can promote the increase of milk volume and improve the quality of milk. If breastfeeding is adopted, breastfeeding is generally required every 2 to 3 hours.

1. Promote blood circulation of premature babies through massage. The mother's physical contact can not only make premature babies feel safe, but also promote the physical development of premature babies. In addition to enhancing the blood circulation of premature babies, massage can also improve their immunity, promote the digestion and absorption of food, and improve sleep quality.

2. Give premature babies a chance to form immune memory. The human immune system can form immune memory against pathogens, and when it encounters them again, it can quickly eliminate them. Therefore, the home does not need to be too clean. If it is a premature baby, there is no chance for infection to produce corresponding antibodies, and the immunity will be weakened.

3. Breastfeeding. On the one hand, the gastrointestinal function of premature babies is not fully developed and is relatively fragile. Breast milk is easier for premature babies to digest; on the other hand, breast milk contains a large number of immune active cells and globulins, which is an important source of immune substances for premature babies. Therefore, breastfeeding should be used to enhance the immunity of premature babies.

1. Unable to pick up things with hands. The typical symptom of developmental delay in premature babies is delayed motor development, which is mainly manifested in the inability to pick up things with their hands. If the child is already 9 months old and still cannot do this, it should be considered as developmental delay.

2. Poor sucking ability Some children with developmental delay may also have poor sucking ability, which is mainly manifested as difficulty in feeding, inability to suck, and feeding difficulties. Severe children may also have abnormal crying, straight eyes, staring, drowsiness, irritability, fever, convulsions, etc.

3. Difficulty turning the head If a premature baby has difficulty turning his head, it should also be considered as developmental delay. At this time, you need to take the child to the hospital for examination immediately to prevent the developmental delay from further aggravating and affecting the child's health.

4. Babies with dull expressions are normal and love to move. If you find that your child is less active and often has a dull or expressionless expression, it may be a symptom of developmental delay. You need to be vigilant and help your child get timely medical treatment to eliminate hidden dangers.

1 Brain examination Compared with full-term babies, premature babies generally develop more slowly, which is normal. However, after several months, if this phenomenon still does not improve significantly, such as still not being able to roll over or crawl, you need to take your baby to the hospital for a brain examination. The purpose of the brain examination is to determine whether the baby has brain damage. If there is a problem in this regard, rehabilitation training is needed in time. If there is no problem, daily exercise can be used to help the baby carry out some daily activities.

2. Go out often. When premature babies have developmental delays, parents should take them out to get in touch with nature. This is not only good for the growth and development of babies, but also can enhance the baby's curiosity about the outside world, help better cultivate the baby's exploration ability, and allow the baby's brain to develop better. In addition, the baby can breathe fresh natural air.

3. Strengthen daily feeding. Premature babies are weak, so breastfeeding should be the main method of feeding. If breast milk is insufficient, you can choose to feed your baby with formula. When the baby is able to add complementary food, you should give the baby more foods rich in vitamins, which will greatly help the baby's future growth and development.
