Feeding intolerance in premature infants refers to the condition where the baby is born prematurely due to immature gastrointestinal function and insufficient gastrointestinal motility, resulting in poor sucking and swallowing coordination. This can lead to vomiting, gastroesophageal reflux, bloating, and difficulty feeding during parental feeding. So, what about feeding intolerance in premature infants?
If premature infants have feeding intolerance, it is best to choose breastfeeding because the baby's digestive system is not fully developed, the gastrointestinal absorption capacity is weak, and there may be low immunity. Therefore, breastfeeding should be chosen to promote the development and maturity of the baby's digestive system. Breast milk can provide sufficient nutrition and alleviate feeding intolerance in premature infants.
Feeding intolerance in premature infants not only affects their gastrointestinal feeding, but may also hinder their growth and development because breast milk is easier for babies to digest and absorb. Therefore, in order to prevent feeding intolerance in premature infants, it is best to use breastfeeding. If feeding intolerance is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
Parents should also choose a reasonable feeding plan based on the individual situation of premature infants, as the digestive motility of premature infants is related to the pregnancy cycle and the physical condition of pregnant women. Therefore, the feeding plan should be adjusted according to individual circumstances to ensure that the baby's digestive tract motility is in the best state and avoid feeding intolerance.
