Kangaroo care:<\/span><\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u00a0It is a name given for skin-to-skin contact where the infant is snuggled against the mother\u2019s chest. The baby feels safe and automatically searches for a breast to latch, promoting breastfeeding. Other advantages include parent-child bonding, healthy brain development, and weight gain. According to the WHO, it is the best start in life of preemies.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b><span style=\"font-family: 'Liberation Sans', sans-serif;\">2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/categories\/-177?utm_source=articletrack&amp;utm_medium=Nursing-&amp;-Feeding\">Breastfeeding<\/a>:<\/span><\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u00a0Preemies are slow to feed as compared to full-term infants and require frequent feeds. Be patient and also ready to feed 8 to 12 times a day. If your baby is not strong enough to latch or suckle, you can use a breast milk pump to collect milk. Pumped milk can be fed using a dropper or spoon.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b><span style=\"font-family: 'Liberation Sans', sans-serif;\">3.

Calculating milestones:<\/span><\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u00a0Pediatricians recommend \u201cadjusted age\u201d for preemies to determine the normal range for hitting a particular milestone. For example, if the baby is born 7 weeks early, adjusted age would be actual age minus 7 weeks. While most of the full-term babies are expected to sit up somewhere between 4 and 7 months, a preemie that is born 2 months early is expected to do the same between 5 and 8 months.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b><span style=\"font-family: 'Liberation Sans', sans-serif;\">5. Sleeping position:<\/span><\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u00a0Preterm babies should be made to sleep on the back for at least 6 months to prevent the risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). Once the neck muscles are stronger, the baby should be made to lie on the abdomen to prevent a flat head as the skull is very soft.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b><span style=\"font-family: 'Liberation Sans', sans-serif;\">6.
