A near-term infant is born 3 to 6 weeks early. Babies born more than three weeks early are considered preterm. These babies need closer observation and support from parents, family, nursing staff, lactation specialist and your doctor.
Some Challenges for a preterm baby: -Difficulty keeping warm -lower blood sugars -tires easily -feeding difficulties -poor weight gain -higher risk for jaundice.
Your health care professional will support your family and provide information on how to overcome these challenges.
