To make it easier, you can lie him down at an angle on the parent&#039;s legs\/body and also in a bathtub-type stroller and stroller at 170 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>Change positions throughout the day \u2013 on the back, on the side, and on the stomach.<\/p>\n<p>Providing stimuli symmetrically during play and treatment.<\/p>\n<p>It is recommended to avoid lying down on a trampoline or stroller for long periods of time. These positions can only be used after a meal and for short periods of time.<\/p>\n<p>If parents wish to use a carrier, this can be done from the time of discharge from the hospital. In the first few months, it is important to use a carrier that supports the baby&#039;s head in a belly-to-belly position, while maintaining a gap between the legs. A swaddle position in a carrier is not recommended, as the baby&#039;s hips are close together for a long period of time, which increases the risk of dislocation of the hips (DDH). Regarding the time spent in the carrier: When the child is sleeping, there is no problem with him being in the carrier, but it is important to take him out of the carrier when he is calm, alert and free in order to encourage him to engage in motor activity according to his age. Staying in a carrier is very relaxing, but it does not contribute to strengthening the muscles, so it is important to combine it with activity on a surface.<\/p>\n<h2>What should the parent do if the doctor does not send him to the child development institute?<\/h2>\n<p>In such a case, the parent&#039;s role is to ask the doctor for a referral to the Child Development Institute closest to their place of residence. After receiving the referral, the parent will contact the institute and schedule an appointment with a developmental physiotherapist. It is important to note that regular follow-up with the doctor and nurses in Tiphat Halav is not a substitute for an examination by a doctor and physiotherapist within the framework of the Child Development Institute.<\/p>\n<h2>When should you initiate a diagnosis or follow-up even if it is not scheduled in advance?<\/h2>\n<p>If the baby stops doing an action that he has done before consistently (not once), for example, he would lift his head and stop, he would easily roll over and stop. If the baby consistently uses only one side of the body - a leg and\/or hand on that side. Dominance appears much later, a young baby is expected to do activities symmetrically.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As noted, according to the Ministry of Health circular on child development, every premature baby born weighing less than 1500 grams must be referred to the Child Development Institute and given priority in the queue for physiotherapy.
