31 weeks premature delivery requires careful care

For babies born prematurely at 31 weeks, it is important to provide them with careful care. Because premature babies have particularly poor immune functions, if the care is not in place, it will often induce other diseases. Therefore, many parents want to know specifically how to provide careful care for premature babies born at 31 weeks. In order for you to understand more details, please read the introduction below.

When caring for a premature baby, don't be impatient. Be careful and observe the changes in the child, but don't be overly nervous. Make scientific adjustments and have confidence that the child will grow up healthily. Practice has proved that before the age of 2 is a precious time to make up for congenital deficiencies. As long as premature babies are fed scientifically, it is entirely possible for their physique to catch up with that of normal babies before the age of two. Such premature babies are no worse than normal people in terms of physical strength and intelligence.

After the umbilical cord of a newborn falls off, the umbilical scar tissue is very weak; and the anterior and posterior muscle sheaths of the rectus abdominis on both sides have not yet closed in the midline, forming a weak ring, which creates the internal conditions for the occurrence of umbilical hernia. When a child coughs, cries, or struggles, the intra-abdominal pressure increases, and part of the tissue in the abdominal cavity bulges out from the annulus to form an umbilical hernia under the skin of the navel.

Umbilical hernia is a spherical, deformable mass. When older children lie quietly, the mass disappears; it reappears when they cry, cough, or stand upright. In smaller children, the swelling persists. The sick children generally have no special symptoms, and their growth and development are not affected. As the abdominal muscles strengthen and the umbilical scar heals, most of them will disappear naturally within 1 year old. For hernias with a larger opening, some simple methods can be used to promote the healing of umbilical hernias.

Premature babies born at 31 weeks need careful care. Although many mothers also understand this knowledge, many premature mothers want to know more about the care of premature babies in order to ensure their children's health through careful care. Therefore, a detailed introduction is made above. I hope that through the above understanding, you can provide more careful care and keep your children healthy.
