Premature Birth - A Parental Guide

81 • Do not massage the baby immediately after she/he is fed. • Give a gentle oil massage using Coconut or Olive Oil once or twice every day. • Do not use new products on the entire body as she/he has fragile skin. • Give daily baths only after the baby weighs over 2 kg and is completely stable. • Bathe your baby in a tub. • Use only prescribed gentle baby soap. 8) Do I need to give my baby any medications after discharge? In case your baby requires any medications, the NICU staff will provide you with a detailed prescription with frequency and dosage. All prescribed syrups, drops, or other medications will be mentioned in the "discharge summary" with all the necessary information to help you administer medicines in a timely fashion. Do not provide any medication to your baby without informing your doctor.
