As a rule, premature babies need special conditions, and even hygiene products and clothes for such crumbs have some peculiarities.
Perhaps my mother will need to buy diapers, a baby cream, other hygiene products in the hospital. Basically, nurses make a diaper change themselves, as the mother can accidentally displace the numerous tubules and wires that are responsible for the life-support of the baby.
Features of the choice of clothes
When nursing premature babies in most cases, it is enough to have a diaper and a knitted cap. It is in this form that the baby is in the kuveze. The need for this headgear is explained by the fact that in the absence of it the baby quickly loses heat.
For the most part, all the clothes that are produced for newborn babies are prematurely very premature.
However, recently in the market there were things specially for preterm (size start at 34 cm with a step of 4 cm). The peculiarity of this kind of products is that all clothes have no seams, so as not to injure the delicate skin. And the size is indicated not as usual, but with the volume of the chest, waist. Moreover, some models indicate the length of the sleeve.
Due to the fact that the premature baby is gaining weight and growing at a faster rate than its peers born on time, there is a need for frequent revision of the wardrobe of the baby. Therefore, moms try not to get a lot of things, while doing so small.
Since most diapers, as well as things, are too small for a premature baby, you can use the smallest size (1-3 kg) by carrying out the following manipulations beforehand: get the smallest waterproof reusable diaper pants and sew them. After a while, as the weight of the baby increases, you can switch to conventional disposable diapers.
Features of care
As you know, there are numerous features in nursing preterm infants. For example, bathing can turn into a crumb for hypothermia. That's why this procedure is carried out under a special lamp. Also during this process, the baby can develop stress and asphyxia.
If the child is already strong and can independently be outside the kuveza, you can start swaddling. It is proved that it contributes to the fact that children cry less, feel better and sleep longer. In this position, the body spends less energy.
Thus, courtship for a premature baby is a complex process that requires a lot of attention and strength of the young mother.
