Newborn baby

Beginning

The premature new-born baby:

The newborn baby to term usually weighs between 2,5 and 4,5 kilograms. The weakness of a normal baby is indisputable: the pulse is intensive, the head does not support herself, scarcely it can see …

Let's think now about a premature newborn baby. If he is born before time, it is why something has failed. The weight of the premature newborn baby is always lower than 2,5 kilograms, and they lose moreover weight on having expelled the urine and the macondo.

The maturation of the organs of the premature newborn baby is incomplete at the moment of being born. Even some premature newborn babies are not capable of breathing without assistance.

Nevertheless, most of the premature newborn babies are big fighters. Many are restored in a little time, and others, of incredible form, manage to overcome very serious difficulties and turn into very vigorous babies.

In the Argentina, the possibilities of survival of the premature newborn babies every day increases and at present, they are very superior to those of 10 and 20 years ago behind.
Until some years ago one believed that the survival limit was the week 27 of gestation, but nowadays there go out forward babies who have been born after 23 weeks of gestation and who scarcely weigh 500 grams. The babies born before the week 32 of gestation are those who cover major risk, since his organs and systems are too immature.

Development of the premature newborn baby:

The development of the premature baby seems slower than that of born to term. But, in fact, what happens is that the premature baby evolves in accordance with his age “real, which is calculated remaining at the time that it has happened from his birth, the weeks that one moved forward. This is the age that it is necessary to bear in mind on having observed the progresses of the baby.

Therefore, the development of your son corresponds to that of a baby of one month (and not of 2), and the laugh and the first gestures usually appear newly in the eighth week. Most of the babies who have been premature and go out forward reach the development of the babies born to term during the first or second year of life, it depends on every case.

Complications that can happen in the premature newborn baby:

Between the most common complications of the premature newborn baby they are the cardiac, pulmonary and hepatic incapability. His skin is extremely fragile and it is necessary to proceed with them cautiously. Also there are frequent the jaundice, the anemia and the problems of retina. Also they are very vulnerable to the infections.

The premature newborn baby can need after stimulation exercises have overcome the hospitable internment. In some cases certain delay appears to walk or miopías important. To some kids who were born prematurely it can cost the mathematics, learn to read or practise sports of coordination, like soccer or basketball. Nevertheless, the early identification of these shortcomings facilitates significantly his correction. At present, the treatments are effective enough and, although the rehabilitation does not produce miracles yet, in some cases almost it it seems.
It is a fact that the percentage of babies with disabilities has diminished very greatly in the last years.

Most of the premature newborn babies develop with normality and they turn into strong and healthy young people. The first fright is usually a hasty childbearing and with difficulties. Later the impact will come of seeing this tiny baby inside the incubator, surrounded with pipes and probes without through those that he might not live. Many parents are afraid every day of the moment to enter the UCI (intensive care unit). They have to do an effort and get over before listening to the words of the neonatólogo.

To know if the baby will overcome the first 24 ó 48 hours is not sufficient. The doubt of his later survival and the aftermath that he can have left are also a worry motive. The fundamental thing for the premature baby is to be provided with the permanent closeness of the parents. To spend the hand for the incubator and to caress it and to speak to him. To leave a recording to him with his voices for when they cannot be with him, milk to be extracted so that they give it to themselves. In some hospitals they have a species of portable incubator, where the mom puts herself the baby as in a rucksack that is an incubator, being able to be with the mom, feeling his smell and the beats of his heart, which for the baby him are familiar, this does that the premature babies recover more rapid.

The doctors grant high when they state that the premature newborn baby will be better in his house than in the hospital. His vital signs have to be stable and the organs must work with certain reliability. When the baby is restored, it implies a big happiness to enter at home with him arms and to be able to integrate it to the family.

To nurse the premature newborn baby:

 At present, most of the units of intensive therapy neonatal who attend to the premature babies and newborn babies of high risk have a liberal politics with regard to the entry of the parents. Nowadays the parents can be in contact with his children, to touch them and to feed them. When the baby has vitality and is not seriously ill, the mom can nurse it without problems.

If the baby cannot go out of the incubator, a feeding-bottle one meets to him on maternal milk that the mom will extract to herself previously. It is very important that it could keep on taking breast, not only for the immunity that will give to him, if not for the affective aspect, since the baby is suffering somehow many external aggressions, and the separation of his mom is one of them.
