Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for consulting in Healthcare Magic. I congratulate you with a baby. Actually, premature babies are often have anaemia, because they didn't receive enough iron from mother. You should control hemoglobin, iron,calcium at your baby at least 1 time in month, pay attention to color of her skin , is it yellow or pale. Breastfeeding is golden standard for baby. Mother sshould also eat food, which reach of calcium- dates,Apple's, popomegranate, beets,carrot and proteins

Best regards
