1. Careful feeding: Premature babies need breastfeeding more. Because the milk of premature mothers contains more nutrients and amino acids than the breast milk of full-term babies, it can fully meet the nutritional needs of premature babies. Moreover, the milk of premature mothers is more conducive to the digestion and absorption of premature babies, and can also improve the immunity of premature babies, playing a great role in fighting infection. Therefore, mothers must have confidence and believe that their breast milk is most suitable for feeding their children. They should find ways to let their children eat breast milk, or find ways to let their children eat breast milk after they are discharged from the hospital. The mother should have as much contact with the premature baby as possible. If the hospital where the child is hospitalized has a mother-child rooming-in ward, the mother must accompany the child into the rooming-in ward. For children who cannot suck or have weak sucking power, mothers should express milk on time (at least once every three hours) and then feed the baby with the expressed milk.

2. Baby massage: The tactile stimulation brought by massage will form a reflex in the child's brain. At this time, the child's eyes, hands and feet will move accordingly. When there are more connections and activities between brain cells, it will promote the child's intellectual development. Another benefit is that children can cry less and sleep better. Abdominal massage can enhance children's digestion and absorption functions.

3. You should contact a doctor in time when the following situations occur: ① The body temperature drops below 35℃, or rises above 38℃, and there is still no effect after taking appropriate warming or cooling measures; ② Coughing, foaming at the mouth, and rapid breathing; ③ The baby's milk intake suddenly decreases, the face is sallow, and the crying is very weak; ④ Abdominal distension occurs suddenly; ⑤ Spasms and convulsions occur.
