Had A Premature Baby. Child Having High Blood Pressure. Is Smoking Harmful For Baby?

Premature babies are really delicate and immunity being weak are susceptible for many issues related to fungus growth, infection, contact, contamination and air pollution.
Hypertension in newborns may be a serious issue and may even be associated with kidney damage.
A simple infection can get life threatening in premature babies... almost upto 1 year age or till they attain weight 10 kg.
I completely being unaware of situation at your place, will not suggest moving the child to locations of possible infection or stress for baby till baby gets a year old.
I hope this answers your concern, please get back to me if any further issue.
You may call a health expert or pediatrician to examine your place and certify the place as comparatively better for a premature if the issue of getting there is urgent.
Thanks


I never mentioned that your place is no safe… in fact I confessed about not knowing the situation at your both places…
As a pediatrician I can only opine that the infant needs extra precautions for first year… and if u notice any unhealthy activities around baby… as a grand parent its your duty to discourage same…
Smoking and pets are the only two issues highlighted to me but there may be many more issues which the two houses need to sort out so baby can get complete family in healthy environment.
Thanks
