СКАЧАТЬ is of vital importance and even if there seems to be very little body surface uncluttered by tubes or plasters, you should stroke your baby as much as possible. In my opinion this can be as important for the survival and thriving of your baby as the ‘pipes’. If your baby is in a closed incubator, put your hands through the working apertures. As his condition improves, ask the staff if you can cradle him, even if only for a few moments at a time. This will mean a great deal to both you and your child.

      •Music can be of as much stimulatory benefit to your pre-term baby as any other. Play soothing recorded music and sing or hum to her as well. This is obviously more difficult to implement if she is in a closed incubator, but with the aid of modern technology you should be able to rig up something.

      •Talk to your baby frequently too. Remember, he recognises your voice as well as his dad’s! Knowing that you are in close proximity and rooting for him will be important stimulation for your child.

      •Breastfeeding is one of the most important gifts you can offer your premature baby. Express milk from the earliest possible time and try especially to give your colostrum, by syringe or tube, to your baby. This is not such usual practice, as the quantity is fairly small and in those first few days she might not be taking sustenance other than through the infusion. Nevertheless, talk to your paediatrician about this, as colostrum is liquid gold, packed with all good things that will help your baby off to a better start.

      •It is important that you keep expressing your milk to ensure continued production, even if she does not need it immediately. You can store your milk in sterilised bottles in a freezer or up to 24 hours in the fridge. You will probably find a breast pump more practicable than expressing by hand if the situation continues for an extended period. You can choose between a manual, battery or electrical pump. Different women find different types more suitable and so there is no absolute guideline on which will be the easiest for you. Be careful, though, not to hurt your nipples by applying too strong a vacuum too soon.

      OTHER CHALLENGES

      Once your baby is over the initial crises, a number of hurdles still lie ahead. Infections are quite often contracted in hospital, partially due to the lower resistance your child will have and also because a hospital is, almost by definition, a fertile breeding ground for organisms. Always wash your hands with great care before handling him, as should all others who come into contact with him. If he has been exposed to prolonged, high levels of oxygen therapy, there is a chance that the retinas of the eyes will be damaged and in time you will have to see an ophthalmologist. Stimulation of the sucking reflex and encouraging your baby to take sufficient milk will also take dedicated mothering skills, so try to ensure that you have a fairly light schedule elsewhere.

      The day will come when your child is ready to progress to an open crib with no special care of the hi-tech variety. You will experience all the feelings and uncertainties of caring for a small infant all over again, but it will be wonderful to be able to cuddle her without any restrictions whatsoever. Soon after, you will be able to take her home, but you are likely to live with the effects of the premature birth for a number of years to come, especially if your baby was born very early. Remember that you should not compare this child to others of a similar age, but rather to those who were born at the time of your expected date, as the time spent receiving specialist care in hospital was an imitation of the time in the womb that your baby should still have experienced. Most parents accept this on an intellectual level but many still find it difficult to apply in daily practice. It will relieve much stress for both you and your child, however, if you can remember this.

      The homeopathic remedy Baryta Carb is very helpful for catching up after a poor start to life and any subsequent problems that might need occupational therapy can be circumvented by its use. Consult a homeopath, though, as it needs to be prescribed in a very specific way.
