Feeding can be one of the most frequent challenges with small and/or sick babies, often turning into a “battleground” once the baby comes home.  For these babies, feeding is hard work, requiring them to coordinate sucking, swallowing, and breathing for the extended time needed to get a good feed.

Prepare for your premature baby’s homecoming to make it go smoothly. Here are some ideas for getting ready.

By following these tips and understanding your baby’s unique needs, you can create a more positive feeding experience, helping your baby thrive and grow stronger each day.

If you've had a sick or premature baby in the hospital, going home can be both exciting and stressful. Make sure you have contact details for health professionals, as well as details of follow-up appointments. It's a good idea to ask for and accept help from friends and family.

The normal body temperature for a baby is between 36.5 and 37.5 degrees Celsius. Newborns need to be kept warm, especially in cold weather. Dressing your baby in layers can be the easiest way to manage their temperature, allowing you to remove layers when you’re in warmer places.

By staying vigilant and recognizing these danger signs, parents can ensure timely medical intervention and help safeguard their newborn’s health.

It is very important that the first meal for your newborn is human milk, assuming that the child's condition allows it. To begin with, it is sufficient for you to smear drops of colostrum on the oral cavity of your baby, thus providing trophic and immunological as well as nutritional benefits.
