Follow on Google News | Health Risk for Premature BabiesBy: Dr Mubina Agboatwalla According to Dr. Mubina Agboatwala-a child specialist in Karachi, feeding of the premature is an important issue. Generally, the baby cannot suck well so intravenous fluids are given. A nasogastric tube is passed for feeding the baby. Mother's milk should be pumped and be given via a nasogastric tube till the baby develops sucking ability. This happens generally within one week after birth. The kidney function should be followed; urine output should also be monitored. Antibiotics are given to control any infection. With proper management nearly 95% premature newborns survive.
