Gestational age of premature babies
Premature birth (birth of a premature baby) -
is a birth that occurs before the end of the full 37 weeks
pregnancy.
Pregnancy period (gestational age) is conventionally counted from

the first day of the last menstrual cycle.
Gestational age is the age of the baby from
from conception to birth.
This is the most important indicator of degree assessment
maturity of the newborn and his abilities
adapt to environmental conditions.
The degree of maturity of premature babies depends on

gestational age and birth weight.
Premature baby According to WHO definition, premature baby
- This
a baby born alive before 37 weeks
intrauterine development, with body weight less than 2500 g and
less than 45 cm long.
A newborn with a body weight of

birth over 500 g, having taken at least one breath.
According to the order of the Ministry of Health of Russia No. 318 dated December 4, 1992
The following terminology is recommended:<2500 г - это новорожденные с малой
all overweight children
mass. Among them there are groups:
2500-1500 g - children with low birth weight (LBW);
1500-1000 g with very low body weight (VLBW);

1000 g - with extremely low body weight (ELBW).
In order for domestic
statistics were comparable to
international criteria in the field
perinatology, Russia, considering
WHO recommendations, switched to new
criteria (order No. 318 of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation).
Health care institutions must register
all children, born alive and stillborn, who have a mass
body at birth 500 g or more, length - 25 cm or more, at term
22 weeks pregnant and more (industry indicators).
However, government statistics from live births
or more, length 35 cm or more). Of those born alive with body weight
500-999 g are subject to registration with the registry office only those
newborns who lived 168 hours (7 days).

When a diagnosis of prematurity is made
newborn" indicates the gestational age in
weeks in which the birth occurred
(gestational age of the newborn).
According to the ratio of body weight and gestational age
both full-term and premature babies are separated
into three groups:
large for gestational age (LGA);
appropriate for gestational age (GAA);
small for gestational age (SGA).

Risk factors leading to increased mortality
premature babies:
bleeding in the mother before childbirth;
multiple pregnancy; pelvic birth
presentation;
absence of steroid therapy in the mother (prevention
HAPPY BIRTHDAY);
perinatal asphyxia;
male gender;
hypothermia;
type I respiratory distress syndrome (RDS, RDS -
respiratory distress syndrome, hyaline disease
membranes).


1. Socio-economic factors:
occupational hazards (work in hazardous industries, with
computers, with salts of heavy metals, chemicals, etc.);
level of education of parents (the lower the level of education
mother and father, the higher the likelihood of prematurity);
woman’s attitude towards pregnancy: in cases of unwanted
pregnancy, especially in unmarried women,
premature birth of a child is observed 2 times more often;
smoking of both mother and father. Typical complications
pregnancy in smokers - placenta previa,
premature placental abruption and rupture of membranes,
contribute to miscarriage. Father's heavy smoking reduces
the likelihood of conception and is a risk factor for the birth of a child
with low body weight;
alcohol and/or drug use leads to high
frequency of birth of a premature baby.

Causes of miscarriage
2. Socio-biological factors:
maternal age (primiparas under 17 years and over 30 years) and
father (under 17 years old);
subclinical infection and bacterial carriage;
previous abortions; i
"deficient" nutrition of a pregnant woman.
3. Clinical factors:
extragenital diseases of the mother (especially with
exacerbation or decompensation during pregnancy);
antiphospholipid syndrome in the mother (in 30-40% of cases
recurrent miscarriage - for more details, see Chapter.
III);
chronic diseases of the genitourinary system in the mother;
surgical interventions during pregnancy;
psychological and physical trauma and other pathological
conditions;
gestosis lasting more than 4 weeks.

Causes of miscarriage
4. In vitro fertilization.
5. Multiple pregnancy.


1. On the mother's side:
age of the pregnant woman (primiparas under the age of 18
years and over 30 years old);
severe somatic and infectious diseases,
transferred during pregnancy;
genetic predisposition;
abnormalities in the development of the reproductive system;
complicated obstetric history (frequent
previous terminations of pregnancy or
surgery, pathology of pregnancy,
habitual miscarriages, stillbirths, etc.);
mental and physical trauma;
uncontrolled use of medications.

Risk factors for having a premature baby:
2. From the fetus:
chromosomal aberrations;
developmental defects;
immunological conflict;
intrauterine infection.

Signs of prematurity
The appearance of a premature baby differs from
full-term with a disproportionate physique,
significant predominance of the brain skull over
facial, relatively large body, short
neck and legs.

Signs of prematurity
skin is red, thin, wrinkled,
abundantly covered with fluff (lanugo), subcutaneous fat layer is not expressed, muscular
tone is reduced;
the bones of the skull are soft, pliable, mobile, sometimes overlap each other, the sutures are not closed,
the large, small and lateral fontanelles are open;
ears are soft, shapeless, crowded
pressed to the head;
the areolas and nipples of the mammary glands are underdeveloped or absent;
fingernails and toenails are thin and do not reach the edges of the nail bed;
plantar folds are short, shallow, sparse or absent;
the stomach is spread out "frog", the umbilical ring is located in
lower third of the abdomen;
in girls - the labia majora do not cover the labia minora, labia
the slit is gaping, the clitoris is enlarged;
in boys - the testicles are not descended into the scrotum, they are located in the inguinal
canals or in the abdominal cavity.


From the side of the central nervous system:
reduction or absence of sucking, swallowing and other physiological reflexes (Moro,
Bauer, Robinson, etc.),
uncoordinated movements of the limbs,
strabismus, nystagmus (horizontal floating
movement of the eyeballs)
muscle hypotonia, adynamia, disruption of processes
thermoregulation (due to slight
energy intake from food, thin subcutaneous fat layer with
low in brown adipose tissue, relatively large
body surface compared to mass),
lack of ability to maintain normal temperature
body, which manifests itself in hypothermia (severe hypothermia body temperature is 35.9-32°C, with severe hypothermia - below 32°C, hypothermia can cause swelling of the subcutaneous fatty tissue of the sclera).

AFO of organs and systems of a premature baby
From peripheral analyzers: blurred vision and
hearing (with severe prematurity).
From the respiratory system:
uneven breathing in rhythm and depth (pathological
breath),
breathing rate varies from 40 to 90 per minute,
tendency to apnea,
the cough reflex is absent or weakly expressed.
There is no surfactant in the alveoli or its content is
is not enough, which causes the development of atelectasis and
respiratory disorders.
From the SSS side:
decreased blood flow (bluish discoloration of the feet and
brushes),
"harlequin" syndrome (in the child's position on his side, the skin of the lower
half of the body becomes red-pink in color, and the upper half is white).
Blood pressure is low, pulse is labile.

AFO of organs and systems of a premature baby
From the immune system:
functional immaturity and a decrease in the number of T-lymphocytes,
decreased ability to synthesize immunoglobulins (high risk
occurrence of infections).
From the digestive organs:
low activity of the secretory function of digestive
enzymes (lipase, amylase, lactase, etc.) and food absorption,
small stomach capacity, which does not allow one to simultaneously hold
required amount of food,
increased tendency to regurgitate due to insufficient
development of the cardiac sphincter,
monotonous nature of intestinal peristalsis (lack of
increase in response to food intake).

AFO of organs and systems of a premature baby
From the liver:
immaturity of enzyme systems, which causes a decrease
protein synthesis, prothrombin (hemorrhagic syndrome),
violation of bilirubin metabolism, accumulation of indirect
bilirubin in the blood and brain tissue (bilirubin
encephalopathy).
From the kidneys:
decreased ability to concentrate urine, almost complete
sodium reabsorption and insufficient water reabsorption,
imperfection of WWTP maintenance.
Daily diuresis by the end of the first week is 60-140 ml,
frequency of urination 8-15 times a day.

Features of caring for a premature baby at home
For a premature baby, the air temperature in the room should be 22-
24; bathing water 38.
Questions about the first walk, massage, gymnastics are decided by the doctor in
individually for each premature infant.
The premature baby is fed according to the regimen selected in the department
nursing (7-9 times a day).
If the mother is still lactating, breastfeeding is carried out
premature with a good sucking reflex, weighing more than 1900 g.

Slide 2

Who is a neonatologist? A neonatologist is a pediatrician, just like a pediatrician, who monitors and treats children at a very early age, usually in the first year of life. The follow-up service was formed to provide assistance to children with perinatal pathology and monitor them during the recovery period. The doctor of the follow-up office focuses mainly on children under 1 year of age: premature, low birth weight, those who have undergone resuscitation and intensive care, children with various developmental disabilities. If necessary, observation continues for up to three years or more.

Slide 3

Consultation with a neonatologist A consultation with a neonatologist will help answer all your questions that young mothers may have quite often. How to bathe children correctly, how to dress a baby, how much time to spend with him in the fresh air? During a consultation with a neonatologist, the doctor will help you choose a milk formula when breastfeeding is not possible. Also, a specialist doctor will give the necessary recommendations for massage and gymnastics, and draw up an individual vaccination schedule for the child.

Slide 4

When do you contact a neonatologist? If the child has the following pathology: -Prematurity; -Respiratory disorders; - Posthypoxic lesions of the central nervous system and other organs; - Intrauterine malnutrition and IUGR; -Congenital malformations; - Hereditary metabolic disorders; -Hyperbilirubinemia; -GBN; -IUI, early neonatal infection; -Blood diseases; -Other causes of postnatal adaptation disorders.

Slide 5

What happens at a neonatologist's appointment? 1. The doctor will ask the mother about her diet and lifestyle, examine the child, evaluate his appearance, symptoms, and behavior. 2.Measure the child’s height, weight and head circumference, listen to his heart through a stethoscope, examine the abdomen, and check his hearing and vision. 3. Advise which specialist needs to show the baby, at what age it is optimal to conduct a course of massage and gymnastics; will give recommendations for hardening. 4. She will answer questions about how to properly bathe and dress the baby, how long to walk, and help you choose a milk formula if breastfeeding is not possible. 5. Prescribe the necessary examination and treatment.

Slide 6

What additional examinations can a neonatologist prescribe? 1. General blood test. 2. General urine analysis. 3. Stool analysis. 4. Neurosonogram (ultrasound of the brain). 5.ECG. 6. Ultrasound of the hip joints. 7.Consultations with relevant specialists.

Slide 7

Half an hour is allotted for examining one patient. After examining the child, the mother is given a detailed statement with a diagnosis and recommendations for further examination and treatment, which she has the right to transfer to the local pediatrician at the clinic at her place of residence.

Pathology of premature babies. Newborns at risk. Completed by Pavlidi Christina ml-504 Teacher Petruk N.I. RUDN Moscow 2012 Full-term - a newborn baby of gestational age 38 - 41 weeks. As a rule, such a child is functionally mature and capable of living in extrauterine conditions. A premature baby is considered to be one who was born between the 22nd and 37th weeks of development with obvious signs of life. CAUSES OF MISTARRIAGE. Disorder of the maternal endocrine function (dysfunction of the ovaries, adrenal glands, thyroid and pancreas). Congenital malformations of the uterus. Previous abortions. Multiple pregnancy. Extragenital and gynecological diseases. Bad habits of the mother (smoking, alcohol, drugs, etc.) Immunological conflicts. Physical and mental trauma. Genital infantilism. CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF A PREMATURE BABY. The posture of a premature baby resembles that of a fetus. Body weight 2500 g or less. Length 45 cm or less. Og and Ogre are less than the corresponding indicators of full-term children. The skin is wrinkled, dark red in color, the subcutaneous fat layer is not expressed. The bones of the arch are soft, the fontanelles and sutures are open. Ossification nuclei of the femoral head are not detected. Genital organs: in boys, the testicles are not lowered into the scrotum; in girls, the labia majora do not cover the labia minora and clitoris. Functional immaturity of organs and systems. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FULL-TERM AND PREMATURE BABY. Internal organs and systems are immature. In premature and “low birth weight” children, the body’s defenses are weaker and more imperfect. The period of adaptation to the outside world is more intense for them than for full-term babies. In this regard, adverse effects are particularly acute for children. Pathology often develops against this background. Diseases that do not pose a danger to other children are more severe in premature and “low birth weight” children. During childbirth, even without complications, the baby’s brain experiences great stress. The pressure on the membranes can be so strong that circulatory problems develop, which can lead to hemorrhages in the brain. In premature babies, brain immaturity is often accompanied by hypoxia, traumatic birth, and a lack of hematopoietic vitamin K, which also often leads to cerebral hemorrhages and strokes. Impaired cerebral circulation can lead to damage to brain structures. Against this background, the formation of cerebral palsy is possible. With mild hemorrhages, the walls of small vessels “burst” and this can lead to increased intracranial pressure. Intracranial pressure increases due to excess fluid formation in the ventricles of the brain, which presses on surrounding tissue. With minor hemorrhages, the condition in most cases is quickly compensated, the outflow of fluid from the ventricles is normalized, and the hemorrhages resolve without a trace. Severe hemorrhages, when large vessels “rupture” and blood fills all the cerebral ventricles, cause much more serious consequences, leading to: hydrocephalus, convulsions, developmental delays, and motor disorders. Such children need constant help from a neonatologist, neurologist and other specialists, in particular monitoring from the neurosensory organs (hearing and vision), since these areas of the brain can be damaged. As is known, the formation of brain structures occurs at an early stage of intrauterine development. A premature baby is born with formed parts of the nervous system, but the nervous system is immature and is often unable to properly regulate all organs and systems. It takes time. In the first days, the baby does not know how to suck independently, because the nerve impulse is not transmitted correctly to the muscles that are involved in sucking. The child is fed through a tube for a long time until the sucking reflex is formed. Very often, such children, having already learned to suck, swallow poorly. Children who have been tube-fed for a long time and have been on artificial ventilation for a long time usually begin to speak late and pronounce sounds incorrectly because the reflexes that regulate the tone of the muscles involved in the pronunciation of sounds take a very long time to form. Therefore, almost all very premature babies require the help of a speech therapist. Moreover, speech therapy classes are necessary even before the child begins to speak, in order to normalize the tone of the tongue muscles and form the correct development of speech muscles. An orthopedic surgeon examines all newborns at least 4 times (at the ages of 1, 3, 6 and 13 months). Such control makes it possible to timely detect a pathology that is often found in premature babies, such as dysplasia (underdevelopment) of joints. In children with damage to the nervous system, motor activity and muscle tone are reduced, and reflexes are weakly expressed. On the contrary, there may be excitement. Convulsive syndrome often occurs in premature infants. Brain ultrasound (brain ultrasound) is widely used to diagnose neurological disorders in children. If a child has risk factors for severe pathology of the central nervous system, he needs active treatment and follow-up by a neurologist. In premature babies, the respiratory system is also immature. There is insufficient development of lung tissue and its blood supply. More often, premature babies develop anemia and rickets. everyone. Children are susceptible to infectious diseases, often suffer from colds, otitis media, etc. Anemia is one of the most common pathologies in young children. About 20% of full-term babies suffer from this disease, and among premature babies, almost all of them develop anemia in the first year of life. The severity of anemia is higher, the lower the gestational age of the baby. In the first months of life in premature infants with very low birth weight (less than 1500 g) and a gestational age of less than 30 weeks. Severe anemia requiring red blood cell transfusion is up to 90%. All premature babies undergo audiological screening, as there is an increased risk of hearing impairment due to damage to the nervous system. Also, all premature babies are required to be examined by an ophthalmologist. The first examination is carried out at the age of 4-6 weeks, and then once every three months. Observation by an ophthalmologist is necessary to identify retinopathy of prematurity. Retinopathy of prematurity is a disease of the eyes of premature babies, often leading to irreversible loss of visual function. The main manifestation of retinopathy of prematurity is the stopping of the normal formation of blood vessels, their growth directly into the eye into the vitreous body. The growth of vascular tissue and, subsequently, young connective tissue causes tension and retinal detachment. NEWBORN RISK GROUPS Risk group 1.

Premature baby: A premature baby is characterized by a disproportion of individual parts of the body: a relatively large head and torso in relation to height, a short neck and legs, a low navel. The brain skull predominates over the facial skull. The fontanelles (anterior, posterior, often mamillary and sphenoid) are open, the cranial sutures diverge. The bones of the skull are soft, pliable, and move one on top of the other. The ears are underdeveloped and soft. The nasal cartilages are also underdeveloped.


Diagnostic signs of prematurity: body weight from 1000 g to 2500 g, height cm, head circumference – cm, chest circumference – cm; functional and morphological immaturity of the main organ systems; decreased lecithin/sphingomyelin ratio in amniotic fluid, bronchial and gastric aspirates; external signs of immaturity (thin skin, underdeveloped ear cartilage, etc.); high levels (fetoprotein; late start of maturation of protective morpho-functional structures); high frequency of edema syndrome in the first days of life (40%), SDR (60-70%), intracranial hemorrhages, prolonged conjugative hyperbilirubinemia.


Features of the subcutaneous fat layer: There is no subcutaneous fat layer. The skin is thin, wrinkled, bright or dark red, sometimes glossy, shiny; covered with down (lanugo) on the forehead, cheeks, shoulders, back, and thighs. Because the skin is thin, the network of saphenous veins is visible, and the movement of the intestines can be seen through the abdominal wall. Cheese-like lubricant covers not only areas of physiological folds, but also the entire surface of the body. The nails on the fingers of the extremities are poorly developed and do not extend beyond the edge of the nail bed.


Premature baby: In girls, due to insufficient development of the labia majora, the genital slit is gaping, the clitoris is clearly visible, in boys the scrotum is bright red, empty, the testicles are contained in the inguinal canals or even in the abdominal cavity. The child is sleepy, muffled, and has a weak cry. Movements are uncoordinated and chaotic. Muscle tone is reduced. Physiological reflexes are weakened. Very premature babies may lack swallowing and sucking reflexes.


Activities to provide medical care to premature babies: 1. Hospitalization of women with premature birth in specialized maternity homes. 2. Application of careful delivery methods. 3. Creating optimal conditions for caring for a premature baby in the maternity hospital (stage I). 4. Creation of optimal conditions for nursing healthy premature babies (stage II) and treatment of sick premature babies. 5. Clinical observation of premature babies in a children's clinic.


Features of caring for a premature baby: In the delivery room, a woman with premature birth requires careful care. Childbirth is usually carried out naturally, carefully, without protection of the perineum, always by an obstetrician and neonatologist. Particular attention should be paid to the prevention, timely diagnosis and treatment of intrauterine hypoxia, as well as to prevent the child from cooling down. The temperature in the delivery room should be 2224 °C. It is imperative to prevent asphyxia for Nikolaev. The fetal heartbeat in the first period is listened to every 15 minutes, in the second period every 5 minutes.


Caring for a premature baby: Children who were born with asphyxia undergo a complex of resuscitation measures (suction of mucus, mechanical ventilation, chest compressions, injection into the umbilical cord vein of a 20% glucose solution, 10% calcium chloride solution, cocarboxylase, etimizol, ATP, analeptic mixture, prednisolone). Manipulations related to the revival of a premature baby, ligation of the umbilical cord, prevention of gonoblenorrhea, primary toileting, are carried out with mandatory additional heating with a heat lamp, on a heated changing table. The diapers and midwife's hands should also be warm. After spontaneous breathing is restored, the child is immediately transferred to the neonatal department.


Wards for premature babies: In the wards of the maternity hospital for nursing premature babies (stage I), the temperature should be 2326 °C. Functionally immature children, whose weight is less than 1800 g, are placed in a closed incubator such as “Inka”, “Medicor”, where it is possible to maintain the required temperature, humidity (6570%) and, if necessary, use oxygen. Children whose birth weight is less than 1200 g are kept in an incubator, the temperature in which during the first week becomes 36 °C, from the 7th to the 12th day 35 °C, from the 12th to the 15th day 34 °C, from the 15th to the 20th day 33 °C, after the 20th day 32 °C. For children whose weight reaches 1 g, the temperature should accordingly be 35°, 34, 33, 32 °C; for children whose weight is more than 1500 g, the temperature from the first days should not exceed °C. The duration of a premature baby's stay in the incubator depends on its ability to adapt to environmental conditions and is indicated by its ability to maintain a constant body temperature. On average, children who weigh more than 1200 g stay in the incubator for 314 days, and those weighing less than 1200 g from 14 to 30 days. Children weighing more than a gram are kept in open incubators with additional heating with heating pads (water temperature in the heating pads is 5060 °C) for the first 56 days.



Caring for premature babies: Manipulation, swaddling, examination of premature babies in the ward should be carried out with mandatory additional heating and strict adherence to the rules of asepsis and antiseptics. Much attention is paid to the prevention of attacks of secondary asphyxia and respiratory distress syndrome. A significant role is played by the correct gentle swaddling of the child, ensuring maximum rest, the appointment of mustard plasters on the chest 23 times a day, the use of oxygen at 4050% concentration, etimizol, inhalation with substances that stabilize the surfactant (glycerin 1 ml, heparin 50 units/kg body weight, isotonic sodium chloride solution 3 ml) 3 4 times throughout the day. If premature babies are diagnosed with a disease, they are treated at the first stage and in specialized departments.


Stage II of nursing for premature babies: Children whose weight on the 7-10th day of life is less than 2000 are transferred to Stage II of nursing. The main tasks of this stage are: 1) creating optimal environmental conditions; 2) rational nutrition; 3) prevention of rickets and anemia; 4) massage, exercise therapy; 5) treatment of various pathological conditions.


Care for premature babies: Particular attention is paid to the sanitary and hygienic regime and care for premature babies. The temperature in the rooms is 2425 °C, they do wet cleaning and ventilation. Premature babies are bathed in boiled water (temperature 3840 °C) for 5 minutes. After the bath, the child is wiped with a dry diaper, swaddled in warm, clean linen, and swaddled again after a minute. Very premature babies stay in incubators until they independently maintain a constant body temperature. To warm children in regular wards, heating pads are used; the water temperature in them should not exceed 60 °C. One heating pad is placed under the blanket on the legs and two heating pads are placed along the child’s body on both sides on top of the blanket.


Prevention of rickets and anemia in premature infants: To prevent rickets, from the 810th day of life, ergocalciferol (vitamin D) in an oil or alcohol solution is prescribed, IU per day for 25 days (per course of IU) and calcium supplements. Instead of using ergocalciferol, ultraviolet radiation can be performed (25 sessions). To prevent anemia, it is advisable to introduce microelements into the child’s diet from three weeks of age. Midi sulfate (0.01% solution, 1 ml/kg body weight) and cobalt sulfate (0.001% solution, 0.2 ml/kg body weight) are added to breast milk or formula once a day for 610 weeks. Iron supplements (hemostimulin, iron lactate, etc.) are prescribed from eight weeks of age for 35 months.


Nursing premature babies: When nursing premature babies, one should consider their characteristic deficiency of iron and vitamins. From the first days of life, they need to be prescribed retinol, tocopherol, thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, rutin, ascorbic and nicotinic acids. Premature babies are discharged home when they have reached body weight g and are in satisfactory general condition.


Caring for premature babies in the area: Monitoring of premature babies in the area should be carried out by a local pediatrician with the help of a visiting nurse. Children whose birth weight is below 1700 g are visited by a nurse 4 times a month by the age of 7 months, children with a body weight of more than 1700 g twice a month by 4 months, and then once a month.


Basic principles of clinical examination of premature infants: 1) dynamic monitoring of physical and psychomotor development; 2) control over rational feeding; 3) prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of rickets, anemia; 4) timely detection and treatment of neurological and orthopedic disorders.


Nutrition of premature infants: Nutrition of premature infants depends on age, body weight at birth, degree of maturity, and general condition. The first feeding of healthy premature babies is prescribed after an hour; for children with manifestations of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)


Nutrition of premature infants: Feeding technique is indicated by the presence of sucking and swallowing reflexes and the general condition of the child. The weakest children need to be fed through a permanent factory-made polyethylene tube with a rounded smooth end or through rubber catheters 9 and 10. The polyethylene tube is inserted through the nasal passages, the rubber tube only through the mouth. When inserting the probe into the stomach, fix it above the upper lip and leave it on the face with an adhesive plaster for 4872 hours, pull it out, boil it and, if necessary, insert it again. Milk is introduced into the stomach in drops, after introducing the entire amount, the probe is washed with 12 ml of 10% glucose solution. This feeding method is used in the first or second week of life until the sucking reflex appears, after which they combine a one-time insertion of a tube with bottle feeding, gradually switching to bottle feeding, and then breastfeeding.


Feeding premature babies: Children with well-defined sucking and swallowing reflexes, whose body weight is less than 1700 g, should be bottle-fed. If the baby actively sucks, does not spit up and does not get tired when feeding, he can be applied to the breast 12 times a day with a gradual transition to breastfeeding.


Feeding premature babies: Healthy premature babies weighing more than 1700 g should be placed on the mother's breast as early as possible. Breastfeeding is carried out with mandatory control weighing. If the baby does not suck enough breast milk, then you need to supplement with breast milk from a bottle. It is most rational to feed a premature baby every 3 hours, initially 8 times a day (without a night break), and later 7 times a day (with a 6-hour night break). The daily amount of milk is best determined using this method: on the first day of feeding, children who weigh less than 1500 g should receive ml of milk; children whose weight is more than 1500 g ml. In the following days, the daily amount of milk for children whose body weight is less than 1500 g is increased every day by 1530 ml, and for children whose body weight is more than 1500 g per ml. On the 1st day of life, the amount of milk a child needs per day should be 1/5 of his body weight.


Feeding premature babies: Human milk is an ideal food for a premature baby, but it cannot replace the need for protein, and sometimes fat, in children born with a body weight of less than 2000. In these cases, nutrition is corrected with formula. If there is no breast milk, premature babies can be given adapted formulas (Nan, Nutrilon, Detolakt).

The head is large, 1/3 of the length, bones
the skulls are soft, the sutures are open, the fontanelles are open
lateral.
The face is small, triangular, the mouth is large,
sharp chin
The neck is thin

Functional characteristics of a premature baby.

Premature is drowsy, hypodynamic,
weak cry, decreased muscle tone,
reflexes are weak or absent.
Breathing is irregular, shallow,
abdominal type, with apnea crises.
The respiratory muscles are underdeveloped, therefore
VC in premature babies is very
small. Lower segments weakly
ventilated. Due to lack
surfactant.

SSS. BP is very low 45/20 mm. rt. Art. first
10 days, then grows 70/45.
Heart rate is 120-160 per minute, and pulse is 60 per minute,
therefore the extremities are cold and cyanotic
touch
Gastrointestinal tract. Swallowing and sucking reflexes are weak
developed. Saliva secretion is reduced, therefore
the oral mucosa is very dry. Cardiac part
poorly developed, so they often occur
regurgitation.
Liver function is underdeveloped. Glycogen depot
in the liver is reduced, therefore in premature infants
Hypoglycemia occurs quickly.

The secretion of prothrombin is also reduced, which
leads to hemorrhagic syndrome in
premature babies.
In premature infants, the system is also imperfect
thermoregulation, which leads to rapid
hypothermia.
Kidney function is also imperfect and reduced
filtration function.
The immune system is underdeveloped, therefore
susceptibility to infections is high.
Their infectious diseases are more severe
