Breastfeeding is essential for every newborn, but it becomes even more crucial in special cases—especially for premature and low-birth-weight babies. These babies need breast milk early and consistently, as their mother’s milk naturally contains higher levels of protein, fat, energy, and vital minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, iron, and magnesium.
In the first days after birth, premature babies may not be able to nurse effectively on their own. In this case, mothers should express breast milk and feed the baby using a spoon or small cup. Premature infants also require more frequent feeds—10 to 20 times per day—to ensure proper nutrition and growth.
Breastfeeding helps premature babies conserve energy, boosts immunity, reduces the risk of infections, and supports healthier development compared with formula-fed infants.
This video explains the special considerations, benefits, and essential practices for breastfeeding premature and low-birth-weight babies, helping mothers care for their newborns safely and effectively.
