Meal
- Feed the infant milk on fixed hours. Do not feed the infant too much at one time. Feed in every three hours. Do not feed the infant for over a long period of time to avoid consuming too much of the strength.
- Milk feeding techniques :
- Massage the infant’s chin and cheek to encourage them to suck.
- Choose feeding teats with round hole and soft texture.
- Lift the infants head and chest as high as possible when feeding milk. Avoid lying flat.
- Add some nutrients according to the infant’s growth under physician suggestions ( i.e. breastmilk additive ) to enhance the nutrients taken by infants.
- To avoid aspiration pneumonia caused by choking, infants can consider feeding via nasogastric tube if the infants appear fatigue before reaching sufficient amount or experience excessively fast breathing rate.
Cloth
- Infants can wear loose, soft and cotton cloth. Avoid wearing tight cloths or bundle tight restraining band on the abdomen and chest to avoid pulmonary expansion.
- Do not wear excess clothes. Rule of thumb: The infant should wear as many clothes as the mother wears.

Accommodation
- Keep the room temperature around 24 ~ 26℃ without being too cold or hold. Keep the air circulated.
- Keep the room quiet and clean.
- Infants should avoid access to public areas and contact with infected persons. Caregiver with a cold shall put on the mask.
Activity
- Let your baby have enough sleep every day.
