At 34 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus is born prematurely. Premature infants and full-term infants are also different. After birth, premature infants need to be placed in a thermos for observation for a period of time to confirm that their various indicators have returned to normal before they can be released from the thermos. So, how long should premature infants at 34 weeks be kept in a thermos?
Premature infants at 34 weeks of age need to be placed in a thermos for a few days, mainly based on their weight. If the weight of a premature baby is between 1.7-1.8kg, they will need to live there for about a month. If the weight of a premature baby returns to 2 kilograms, it can be released from the incubator in advance. If the indoor air conditioning is on and the temperature is relatively low or in winter, it is necessary to consider having a weight of 2.2 kilograms before allowing premature infants to come out.
From this, it can be seen that the length of time premature infants need to stay in the incubator mainly depends on their weight growth rate. In order to help premature infants gain weight faster and grow better, mothers need to breastfeed them more. Breast milk can provide more energy to premature infants, so it is recommended to choose breastfeeding if possible.
The quality of mother's breast milk also affects the weight gain of premature infants. In order to ensure that premature infants can drink high-quality breast milk, mothers should remember to drink more soup and water, such as motherwort chicken soup, papaya and carp soup, ginseng chicken soup, corn and pork rib soup, etc. Usually, the food prepared for mothers should also be high in protein and calcium to ensure nutrition.
