A. Hello mom As you have mentioned that he is a preterm baby such babies gain weight on low pace and even there are delays of milestones as well so over a period of time they catch up with the growth. also try continue giving your feed and the solid Multivitamin are normally recommended for every baby

A. Hi parent As she's preterm , it's little difficult for her to gain weight Don't use RO water as it's demineralized Use simply purified water having TDS higher than 350. Take sunbath daily with her head and ears covered Give her curd , buttermilk lassi paneer , baajta items , and citrus fruits.
