A premature baby at two months and 10 days old still doesn’t chase objects or people, which may be related to brain damage associated with preterm birth. Parents are advised not to worry too much, to engage in more practice, and to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up to ensure complete recovery from brain damage. Each child’s growth and development timeline may vary, so parents should not be overly concerned.

How to prevent and care for children prone to vomiting? Pay attention to diet, eat at regular intervals, avoid overeating; consume fresh, clean food; do not overindulge in spicy, grilled, and fatty foods. Breastfeeding should not be too fast to prevent swallowing air; after breastfeeding, hold the child upright and gently pat the back to expel inhaled air. For mild vomiting, easy-to-digest liquid foods can be consumed, taking small amounts multiple times; for severe vomiting, temporary fasting is recommended. When vomiting, the child should lie on their side to prevent inhalation into the trachea. When administering medication, the liquid should not be too hot, and the dosage should be taken slowly, with the option of taking a small amount multiple times if necessary.
A child coughing in the morning may be a symptom of acute tracheitis, and it’s recommended to undergo blood tests and a chest X-ray for an accurate diagnosis.

At 40 days old, the baby’s milk intake during the day has decreased. The baby often falls asleep or becomes dazed after eating a little, then cries or demands more milk shortly after. This pattern repeats, and even when the baby sleeps, they don’t stay asleep for long and wake up soon. Previously, the baby would drink 150 milliliters per feeding, but now it’s around 90 milliliters. It is suggested to observe the baby’s condition and add yeast tablets to milk or water to aid digestion. Also, pay attention to the child’s oral hygiene, maintain a regular daily routine, keep up with vaccinations, keep the stomach warm, and ensure good ventilation in the room. For breastfeeding, reduce the amount of milk per feeding but ensure regular and quantitative feeding. Wishing you and your baby a healthy growth!
