Many female friends may experience premature birth due to physical reasons or other factors after pregnancy. This will make parents very worried. Parents want to learn more about this knowledge and take better care of their babies. Let's take a look at the differences in appearance between full-term and premature infants.
1. Skin: The skin of full-term infants looks very rosy, with ample subcutaneous fat and few fine hairs. The skin of premature infants appears to be relatively swollen, and there is also a lot of fine hair.
2. Hair: The hair of a full-term baby will appear to have distinct stripes. However, the hair of premature infants is relatively soft and silky, like yarn.
3. Ear shell: The cartilage development of full-term infants is very good, and the formation of the ear canal is also relatively upright. The ear shells of premature infants are relatively soft, lacking cartilage, and the ear canal is also unclear to look at.
4. Breast: The breast nodules in full-term infants have already developed and are larger than 4 millimeters, and the areola is also very clear. Premature infants do not have breast nodules, and some nodules may be smaller than 4 millimeters, making it difficult to see the areola clearly.
5. Nails: The nails of full-term babies have already grown well, and some full-term babies have nails that exceed their fingertips. Premature babies did not reach their fingertips.
6. Toe lines: Foot lines in full-term infants have spread throughout the entire sole of the foot. Premature infants have very few foot patterns on their feet.
Compared to full-term babies, premature babies have weaker development and physical resistance in all aspects, requiring more caring care from parents. Parents can learn more about how to take care of premature babies and help them grow smoothly.
