Bonding with your premature baby
(HealthDay News) — Premature babies are those who are born earlier than 37 weeks. They are at a higher risk of complications and they may need some more extra time in the hospital for some intensive care until such time that they are healthy enough to go home.
Here are some ways for you to bond with your newborn:
1. Gently touch and stroke your baby as often as possible.
2. Talk, read and sing to your baby.
3. If you are allowed to, change your baby’s diaper yourself.
4. Always take your baby’s temperature when its time.
5. Help out in giving your baby the first bath.
