PREMATURE BABIES
Premature babies may have more health problems than babies born later. These include problems with their brain, lungs, heart, eyes and other organs.
Some premature babies have to spend time in a hospital’s newborn intensive care unit (also called NICU) to get special medical care.
Premature birth can lead to long-term challenges for some babies, including intellectual and developmental disabilities.
If you’re worried about your baby’s health or development at any time, tell your baby’s provider right away.
What is a premature baby?
A premature baby is one who is born too early, before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Premature babies may not be fully developed at birth. They may have more health problems and may need to stay in the hospital longer than babies born later. Thanks to advances in medical care, even babies born very prematurely are more likely to survive today than ever before.
Your baby’s health care provider may use these terms to describe your baby’s birth:Late preterm: Your baby is born between 34 and 36 completed weeks of pregnancy.
Moderately preterm: Your baby is born between 32 and 34 weeks of pregnancy.
Very preterm: Your baby is born at less than 32 weeks of pregnancy.
Extremely preterm: Your baby is born at or before 25 weeks of pregnancy.
Do premature babies need special medical care?
Talk to your baby’s health care providers about any health conditions your baby has. He may be healthy enough to go home soon after birth, or he may need to stay in the NICU for special care. Your baby can probably go home from the hospital when he:
Weighs at least 4 pounds
Can keep warm on his own, without the help of an incubator. An incubator is a clear plastic bed that helps keep your baby warm.
Can breastfeed or bottle-feed
Gains weight steadily
Can breathe on his own
