Important points in following the growth of premature infants

Important points in following the growth of premature infants

Since early-born babies are underweight compared to normal newborns, growth and development follow-ups should be done more often, especially during the first months.

Important points in following up the premature babies
Just as it is in infants born in time, it is very important that infants born prematurely, that is, those born before the time, have regular follow-ups of growth. The longer these babies stay in the intensive care unit, the better the home care needs to be followed up. Especially 1000 gr. Babies who are born underneath and have received respiratory therapies and are fed with special techniques are being watched at weekly or two week intervals until their harmony with the family is completed.


Age corrected for assessing the health of infants
Although weight loss is very important, infants should always be assessed against their corrected age. The normal gestation period is 40 weeks, the difference between the baby's birth week and 40 weeks, the baby's calender age is corrected and the age is found. That is, a baby born at 32 weeks is recalculated for eight weeks of age, corrected for age 8 weeks, with a calculation of "40 - 32 = 8". When such a baby is four months old, it is enough for two month old babies to show their height, weight and neurological development. Although early-born babies' body measurements can catch babies normally born at the same time over a period of time, the closure of the awareness of neurological development can last up to the age of 2-3. Once the average weight increase is achieved in the babies, the monthly examinations are passed. Premature babies, 40 to 60 g a day during the period of rapid growth called capture growth in the first few months. Scale increase. Excessive nutrition in this period also harms babies as much as nutrition. Because the first bases of obesity are eliminated in this period. For optimal growth rate 2000 gr. In six-born babies, breast milk strengtheners are often prescribed by the physician, or special transitional treatments can be added when the baby is at home.


Metabolic assessments and blood tests are performed at intervals. Infants with neurological problems should be monitored at appropriate centers for physiotherapy. Premature births and proper follow-up are important to prevent premature babies from getting caught in spastic disease, and there are no limitations in hip dislocations and joints. Infants born at 32 weeks of age must be passed through the first eye examination until at least 34 weeks of age and then continued until retinal development is complete. Since retinopathy of prematurity is a major problem that can also lead to blindness, it is important not to omit the eye controls that remain after the babies exit home.


Infants born prematurely and especially with intensive care procedures are also at risk from hearing. When the size of the baby's external auditory canal becomes appropriate, a neurological examination of a hearing test and the stages of development of a normal baby, defined as social, tongue, thin and coarse motor, must be performed. If necessary, methods such as brain electrosurgery (EEG), brain and / or spinal MR imaging and developmental tests are utilized. Children between 0 and 2 years of age have the fastest brain development. Therefore, when the risks are detected early and the necessary treatment is performed, it is likely to have long-term and successful results.


Vitamin and iron support should be started immediately. Premature babies need routine vitamin D supplementation as well as iron supplementation within the first month earlier than normal babies.

My son was born for 4 weeks for 29 weeks, 1000 gr weight on 25.05.2016 ... 59 days left in the cup ... make a very difficult period of birth to give birth to the baby in the hospital to leave empty hand home, do not know the lohusaligini an unacceptable anguish. Save your moves.

Hello my baby born in 33 weeks because of pregnancy poisoning 1700 grams of life I can not make a living I do not know my birth experience can share my love

I had to make an early birth.

My premature baby is now 10 months old. One tooth came out. It does not work. He turns around on the ground. How many months walk is the premature babies at the latest?
I can understand your curiosity as a premature baby mother. First of all, get comfortable. The babies are all very special and their development is unique. For this reason, it is not possible to say with certainty when they will arrive at the milestone stages of their development. Some babies walk early, others walk later. Some prefer to go straight while your child is crawling, and others, like your baby, on the ground. These are normal.
Doctors prefer to follow the general trends to define the stages of baby development as an average and to follow each baby's development by comparing these average values. While knowing the mean values ​​makes development more comfortable to follow, it is also helpful in detecting developmental disorders.
What is important in baby development is that the baby does not move forward. For example, lifting the upper part of the body while lying on the abdomen, crawling, standing up and walking is always a forward development. It does not matter if there is some delay in some issues as long as it is a forward improvement. However, if the baby is very much in all aspects of the developmental stages, it is definitely worth consulting the doctor. To find out what babies can do according to their age, you can check out the article "0-5 Age Babies and Children in Development"

Special Situation of Premature Babies
After making such a general introduction to baby development, I would like to talk about the special cases of premature babies. As is known, pregnancy is a 40-week process. Babies born before the completion of the 37th week are termed premature.
33-37. Week completed and / or infants weighing 1.5-2.5 kg were prematurely infected,
28-32. Week completed and / or babies born at a weight of 1-1.5 kg are premature,
It is prematurely advanced before the 28th week is completed and / or babies born at a low weight of 1 kilogram.
When premature infants are born, the muscles and nervous systems do not function like babies who have completed 40 weeks. However, premature babies also complete their development in a healthy way outside of their mother's womb and continue their lives in a healthy way.
Corrected Age Calculation
Due to the special circumstances of premature babies, it is necessary to follow their developmental stages by adjusted age. Corrected age is found by subtracting the preterm birth period from the current age (calendar age). To give an example:
Baby's current calendar age: 40 weeks (10 months)
Baby's number of premature weeks: 5 weeks (born at the 35th week of pregnancy)
Baby's current corrected age: 35 weeks (8 months 3 weeks)
Therefore, when following this baby's developmental milestones, it is necessary to look at the developmental stages of a baby of 8 months, not a baby of 10 months. It is quite normal for a baby to arrive at the developmental stages so late, if they were born before 40 weeks. Because early born babies have more weeks to complete than their mother's belly.
It is thought in the literature that premature babies, generally 2 years old, are born at full time, with different opinions in this regard. Some doctors say that until the age of 3 or primary school age. For this reason, it is beneficial to use a corrected age of at least 2 years.
Premature babies are often left behind by their full-time-born peers in motor development (crawling, standing up) that affects muscles. They lag behind in their conceptual development.
Premature Baby Movement
The point to be aware of when premature babies will walk is to consider the adjusted age. In terms of giving ideas, the mean walking time is 13.5 months for infants who have completed 40 weeks, and 14.5 months for infants born 32 weeks earlier. It should also be kept in mind that each baby is different from each other and that the stages of development do not occur at the exact times as if each baby was connected.
Rare Situations
If your premature baby has yet to walk when it should be age corrected, be patient. Most of the time he will walk by itself after a while. However, if you are in any doubt, consult your doctor.
Your baby, born prematurely,
If you can not carry the weight of your body on your feet for 9 months,
He is standing on his toes for 9 months, but if he can not beat his heels,
If you do not crawl or crawl in 12 months,
If you are still walking at 18 months or if you are walking on your fingertips, you may need to get help walking (physical therapy).
If your baby has any of the following health problems, it may be late to walk:
27 weeks earlier or born less than 750 grams
If you have chronic lung disease (Bronchopulmonary dysplasia - BPD)
If your muscles are weak (Hypotonia - Hypotonia)
If the brain is paralyzed (Cerebral palsy)
Born If you have to go to the hospital often after a while, If the body is in a condition requiring continuous maintenance (such as respiratory support, nostril tube) How can you help your premature baby's walk Premature babies like all babies learn to walk through play. Play whenever you have the opportunity with your baby. Try to make sure that games are kind of challenging to walk. Example games: - Get up to support by getting support: Put a toy on your seat that you love a few centimeters beyond the reach of your baby by hand. Encourage the baby to climb onto the seat and get up and reach the toy. While the baby is about to catch the toy, push the toy a little farther so that you can get there by holding onto the seat. Continue this game as long as the baby is not bored. - Safely falling on the butt: After some babies have left their feet, they feel uncomfortable and discouraged. Smile at her when your baby falls. If necessary, make a soft landing by putting a pillow where it will fall. Your smile will tell you that it is not such a bad thing to fall on her and will encourage her to stay up again. - Walking between two people: Mother and another person sit on the floor mutually. Take a few steps between you. Lift the baby by holding it. Encourage walking between two people by calling the name. The distance that the baby will walk is not more than a few steps in the beginning. As you succeed, your distance grows. Walking alone: ​​Raise your baby to the feet and rest your back on the wall. Lay your hands on him by crouching a few steps beyond yourself. As you step towards you, go a few steps back and encourage your little walk. Keep your brain on your hands often while walking. Try to take toys that your child can hold on to and hold while walking while standing. Avoid using tools such as walkers. Walkers push babies' muscles to work less often. Bebein will be more beneficial in terms of the development of walking by lifting the weight of her own body. If physical retardation of the doctor's examination is detected, physiotherapy will be able to obtain positive results at an early age. I hope this information sheds light on the problem of walking premature babies. I am confident that the baby will start walking as soon as possible. I wish a healthy, beautiful life together with your baby. Emory University | About.com 1 | About.com 2 | Important note: The articles on this blog are my personal experiences.

My wife and I are discovering the world with my son, Can, who is in the North and 5 years old. I love life, people, video games and travel. I am very happy that Bebekveben, whom I started as a memory of my childhood, soon turned into a place where my mothers met, asked questions and shared. Thank you for accompanying us in the exciting world of child rearing. My baby was born premature (born in 34th week) 1600gr. The child born from the normal month and who is 5 months younger than my daughter wears her own shoes and goes to her own toilets. My daughter is 3 years old and she's still not doing it. What should I do? I'm very worried. The topics you are talking about are too long to be answered in the comments section, and it's something I want to address. That's why I wrote a separate article on this subject. You can get it from the following link: http://bebekveben.com/cocugumun-development-diseleniyorum/mybabim 1300 grb born boy34cm baś29cm now baby 6,5 months 6 kilos 65 cm baš40 cm you have not written how many weeks early your baby was born. It is not possible to make calculations without this information. Please do the calculation in the section I wrote the corrected age calculation. In this way, you may have an idea about the development of your baby.35 weeks of birth, but the baby has not developed on the mother's breast. Born We are now walking, running, bouncing and catching up with their peers as a kiilo. Our only pitfall is the mother, father, ece, water (fu), milk (puffer). Vocabulary is a little perceived very well everybody understands and applies what we say, very carefully, against voices Very sensitive, regular, does not have difficulty in making friends, but he can not make sentences, which makes me very worried. If you send a nursery along with a carer at the age of two years and seven months at home, will he benefit from speaking? Thank you for your information already. My son My son also spoke late. (See the following article I wrote around the age of 2 http://bebekveben.com/bir-konussa-neler-dirtu/) There are many factors. It is probably all right if we consider that the girl is on the path to other developmental steps and premature birth for 14 weeks ... Of course it would be beneficial to send a nursery. Communicating with many friends and teachers in the home while at home normally only communicates with the carer will speed up language development. You can start summer school. You will be surprised to see his speech developing in a short time. You have plenty to talk to. Ask him questions. Encourage reading the names of the objects in the books by reading plenty of books. If you do not improve after a while, you can get help from a language therapist. Hello, my baby boy. We are 7 weeks old, 770 days old. 8 months old is 6,500 kilos. I am very worried about weight. My baby was born 13 weeks early. For this reason, babies about 5 months old can be expected to be in weight. It will slowly recover. I would recommend communicating with your doctor about the development of your baby.I am a girl of 37 weeks old, 1950 gr., 4 months 5600 gr., 60 laced with my skin. You can calculate your corrected age by removing it from 3 months for 4 months. You can also refer to the following article on height and weight development: http://bebekveben.com/bebeklerde-boy-kilo-bas-cevresi-olculeri/ I have had 34 + 3 days of birth in my daughter1.970 gr. 1 week in the womb. I need to be born very early in my life, and my early childhood age is exactly how many months. If we calculate the birthday, it will be 2 years. If we do not calculate the birth day, it will be 1 week. Our child is born for 30 weeks. 4 months. 6 months is still 6 months old. Since the birth of the problem is it is not normal to make your own big toilet? Do you open a little more when you say that you can not make your own big toilet? How is it going to the toilet? Dear Friends, my son is 33 weeks 1,970 gr in height 49 cm birthday an 8 month weight 8 kg boy 69 cm this. I gave 6 mommy's milk to normal, now I went to extra food. So if you take 7 weeks out of 8 months, your corrected age will be roughly 6 months. In this case, compare with the development of 6-month-old infants. I have my twin babies 09. 07.15 I have to calculate 32 weeks of dogs in a few months and I do not know what to eat in the evening Because the babies are born 32 weeks, You should think about 8 weeks as small as your current age. So if the babies are going to be 6 months in 7th of March, you should think of them like 4 month old baby. Under normal conditions, solid food can be started gradually at 4 months. But there is no haste. 5 months is also suitable for this. You can read the following article on the transition to solid food: http: //bebekveben.com/etiket/kati-gidaya-gecis-baby-led-weaning/Myhabalar my baby 35 + 3 te 43 cm 2,280 gr birthday suda 5 dawn custard with me due to respiratory trouble Do you have the same situation in the same period while you are still in the mood? I firstly say that you are welcome to the little baby. I can guess that you are curious about your baby and you are looking for answers. The approach that will help you the most in these conditions is to keep the baby safe and the morale is high. The baby's health conditions are different. It does not mean that your baby will come out at that moment if a baby is out of a coop at some point. Or your baby can go out before other babies. According to the baby's development, this decision will be given by doctors. I can guess that you can not take your baby home yet. Keep your morale intact. These days my hope will pass and I will go home to embrace the sweet baby and go home to start my own life. I wait for the good news. I left 5 days in the pig in my dairy bi. I went out for a week. After 1 week I left my son my 31 week old mother is taking milk- Not connected to the respirator The doctor said that there is no problem with the premature birth only said that the infectious disease started with 2cc now he said that the condition is good to 7cc said baby is the desired weight gain birthday weight 1580 shuinki weight 1440 recovery training date birth date 8.2.2016Minik son is welcome It is great that there is no complication involved and that you can breathe without being dependent on the respiratory device.When your baby reaches proper weight and the risk of infection is lost, doctors will be allowed to leave the hospital. After that, you will begin to gain weight with your related and beautiful care and will catch your peers in time. When it comes to what it is, as I have mentioned in my article, it is thought that in the literature there are different opinions on this issue, with premature babies catching the developmental stages of babies, usually born at 2 years old, full time. Some doctors say that until the age of 3 or primary school age. 2-3 years I would like to have this happening a long time ago.Consumers are happening.SelamlarMerhabalar my twins were born on 25.08.2015 and were 31 weeks old.What do I need to calculate? You will follow the steps. The daughter is 29 weeks old and 1240 gr is born. She is walking on the edges of 19 weeks (rectified16) and takes 7.5 kg mother sutu. What should I do? My daughter was born 29 weeks old and had a good life. That's great news. You will have 11 weeks for your adjusted age. In other words, the calendar age is 19 weeks, the corrected age is 8 weeks, in other words, a 2 month baby. Mother is very nice to have milk. Mommy goes on. If there is no other health problem, you will continue to care like normal babies. If the weight is 7.5 kg this is very nice. A 6 month old baby girl born at full time is at a 50% percentile weight of 7.4 kg. Her daughter's weight is more than that. It is also very nice to get up early to stay up early. I continue to do the same as what you are doing ... I wish you happy days. I was born 5 months 3 weeks. I was born at 900. Now the girl is 17 years old and we are 17 years old and we are taking this doctor to the doctor. We are using developmental food for an 8 year old girl. Despite the fact that she is born prematurely, she is now expected to be at the age of 8, so that children who are born full-time have caught the developmental stages. How tall is he? A petite child? Continue to keep track of your development in coordination with your doctor in any case.SevgilerBenim son 16.11.2015 te 28 hours 1005 gr world came to now four months and eleven days a day exactly what is the correct rate?

Some States Have More Premature Babies Than Others

Some States Have More Premature Babies Than Others

<a href="http://www.families.com/mamawrites/">by Mary Ann Romans</a>

A new report shows that the odds of you having a premature baby depend on
the state in which you live. The report was issued by the March of Dimes
organization which tracked premature births and gave a report card on the
disparity of premature births by state.

For example, the states with the lowest incidence of premature births tend
to be up north. In Vermont, a woman is least likely to have a premature
baby. Only 9 percent of all births are premature. Oregon and Connecticut
also have low rates of premature births.

When you move down further south of the country, those number rise
dramatically. There are a whopping 18.8 percent of premature births in
Mississippi, the worst state in the union for premature birth rates. West
Virginia, Alabama, Kentucky, South Carolina and Louisiana also have large
percentages of premature births.

Overall in this country about one in eight babies is born premature.
Prematurity can result in all sorts of conditions and medical issues, from
learning disorders to death.

While prematurity is not well understood, the report does give three
factors that may play a role in the difference in the premature birth rates
across the states:

Lack of insurance leading to lack of prenatal care. Risks for preterm labor
can offen be identity and treatment given to women who are at risk.

Smoking. There is a higher incidence of smoking in some of the states that
also have the higher premature birth rates. Overall, the report estimates
that 17 percent of all pregnant women smoke.

Scheduled C-sections. C-sections may purposely be scheduled ahead of full
term (for example to avoid having a large baby), or they may be scheduled
without a good understanding of the age of the fetus.

What do you think of this recent news?

Premature Infant



A premature infant is a baby born before 37 weeks.
A premature infant has organs that are not fully grown. The infant needs special care in a nursery until the organ systems have developed enough to sustain life without medical support. This may take weeks to months.

A premature infant will have a low birth weight - less than 5.5 pounds (2500 grams). Common symptoms in a premature infant include:

* Respiratory problems such as hyaline membrane disease (also known as respiratory distress syndrome or RDS)
* Episodes of absent breathing (apnea)
* Poor feeding
* Thin, smooth, shiny, almost translucent skin
* Transparent skin (can see veins under skin)
* Wrinkled features
* Soft, flexible ear cartilage
* Body hair
* Weak cry
* Usually inactive -- however, may be unusually active immediately after birth
* Enlarged clitoris (female infant)
* Small scrotum, smooth without ridges (male infant)

The infant may have a low body temperature and show signs of breathing problems.

When premature labor develops and cannot be stopped medically, the health care team will prepare for a high-risk birth. The mother may be moved to a center that specifically cares for premature infants, for example, a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). In some cases, medicines called steroids may be given to the mother in help the baby's lungs grow. When born, the baby is moved to a high-risk nursery. The infant is placed under a warmer or in an machine called an isolette, which controls the air temperature.

Since infants are usually unable to coordinate sucking and swallowing before 34 weeks gestation, your baby may have a feeding tube placed into the stomach. In very premature infants, feedings may be done through a vein (intravenously).

If the infant has breathing problems, a tube may be placed into the windpipe (trachea). A machine called a respirator will help the baby breathe. Oxygen is given.

Nursery care is needed until the infant reaches a body weight of about 5 pounds and is able to feed by mouth and maintain body temperature. In very small infants, other problems may complicate treatment and a longer hospital stay may be needed.

Prematurity was formerly a major cause of infant deaths. Improved medical and nursing techniques have increased the survival of premature infants. A greater chance of survival is associated with increasing length of the pregnancy. Of babies born at 28 weeks, approximately 80% survive.

Prematurity is not without long-term effects. A large number of premature infants have medical problems that continue into childhood or permanently. As a rule, the more premature an infant and the smaller the birth weight, the greater the risk of complications. It must be stressed, however, that it is impossible to predict the long-term outcome for an individual baby just on the basis of gestational age or birth weight.

Prevention

One of the most important steps to preventing prematurity is to receive prenatal care as early as possible in the pregnancy, and to continue such care until the baby is born. Statistics clearly show that early and good prenatal care reduces your chance of premature birth and related deaths.

Premature labor can sometimes be treated or delayed by a medication that blocks uterine contractions. Many times, however, attempts to delay premature labor are not successful.

How is the Being Premature monitored?

Babies who are born early usually are carefully monitored, especially for the first year. Very premature babies will be seen by eye and hearing specialists. They will be taken care of by development specialists and breathing specialists. Teams of healthcare providers work together to give these babies as much care as they need to help them develop as normally as possible. Any new or worsening symptoms should be reported to the healthcare provider.

What happens after treatment for Being Premature?

Once the baby is able to breathe on its own, he or she will usually spend some time in the nursery to grow more before going home. When the baby reaches a certain weight, the baby can go home and the parents can try to resume a normal life. But the baby may still need more care than a baby born on time. During the first year, the parents may spend more time in doctor visits with their baby than parents of full term babies.

What are the side effects of the treatments?

Ventilators may damage the baby's lungs. They also may cause chronic breathing problems. High levels of oxygen are sometimes needed to make sure the baby's organs get enough. This can have the side effect of damaging the blood vessels in the eyes. This in turn can cause poor vision. Certain antibiotics can cause trouble with hearing as the baby grows. Very premature babies often need to be fed through the bloodstream instead of through their guts. These babies can develop liver injury as a result.

What are the treatments for Being premature?

Treatment depends on how early a baby is born and its weight at birth. Babies who are born only a few weeks early usually just need time to grow, and time to learn to feed well. They often go home after a short time in the hospital. Usually, the earlier a baby is born, the longer it will stay in the hospital, and the more treatment it will need. The very premature babies are least likely to survive even with the best of care, and those who do survive often have to stay in a specialized hospital for several months.
