Premature babies are infants that are born about 3 weeks before their estimated due date. Another way of putting it would be a baby that is born before the start of the 37th week of pregnancy. Premature birth is dangerous for the infant as the baby has not been given the time in the mother’s womb that he/she needs to develop fully. Premature babies, especially those that are born very early, usually suffer from medical complications such as apnoea, respiratory stress disorder, jaundice, anaemia, etc. Clinical care is recommended upon premature birth.
