My baby was born premature at 33 weeks with a birth weight of 2.3kg. His current weight is 5.5kg at 12 weeks. It is said that prenature babies shouldn’t be taken out in public places because they have a risk of infection. But for how long?

A. dear mum the weight gain is good. the immunity of young babies is still developing so they are at a greater risk of catching infections hence it is best that the public places are avoided especially during the present times of covid
