How Long Will A Preterm Baby Of 1kg Take To Gain Normal Weight?
Hi doctor i had a preterm baby one mnth ago having a weight 1 kg at the time of birth. Now she is 950 gms due to jaundice. She is under observation till nw as she is not gaining weight properly and she is having problem in taking breathing. Today dr had prescribed him syrup caffirate. What do u think what will be the actual problem with my child and how much time will she take to overcome it??
Hi, thanks for asking. I can empathize with you regarding the stress of having a pre term child. Syrup caffirate is used for the apnea of prematurity. It will help your child breath better. How long she will take depends on what condition she is in right now. Usually when a pre term baby starts recovering it will gain weight at the rate of around 10-15 grams per kg per day.
