I am Syakirra from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I have a 6 months old daughter, 26 weeks of premature and weight 1.06kg when i gave birth to her. I read a lot and many books saying that some of the preemies might be a bit slow compared to normal babies with the same age.
I found out that my baby doesn’t really interested on toys at the moment and she is interested on communicating with peoples. Therefore i decided to get some flashcards so that i can develop her brain and at the same time communicate with her.
Anyone with preemies here? let’s share some ideas.

Having a preemie is very challenging mentally and physically because my baby needs to be in the NICU at the hospital for 2 months and i need to be at home during that time.
Basically we need to be very hygiene and need not exposed her to outside for at least 2-3 months after the baby has been discharged from the hospital to avoid infections as the lungs are not really matured.
