    It's an honor to answer this question for you, let's walk into this question together, and now let's ** it together.

    I believe that whether a child is smart or not is determined by two factors. One is congenital genetic factors, if the parents are smart, the child has a greater chance of being smart. The other is acquired training, even if the child is born in the same family and has similar genetic factors, if the parents are trained differently in the later stage, the child's development will be very different.

    I would like to share with you my personal views and thoughts on this issue, I hope my sharing can help you, and I hope you can like my sharing.

    In fact, there is no basis for the statement that the IQ of premature infants is higher than that of full-term infants, but some foreign authorities have proposed that "children who are heavier than the average baby at birth will have an IQ that exceeds the average of their peers after normal development and growth." ”

    Now more and more researchers also agree with this point of view, nearly 25% of children with cerebral palsy are premature infants or very low birth weight infants, and the brain volume of premature babies is lower than the average brain volume of normal infants, which may have a certain impact on future learning life and intellectual development or even obstacles.

    In fact, generally for premature children, due to congenital dysplasia, the body is weak, parents will pay more effort and effort than ordinary children, such children will get more attention and love than ordinary babies, which from the perspective of acquired cultivation has been beyond the general child's upbringing, if the congenital genetics are normal, no brain disease, then it can indeed look smarter than the average child.

    Therefore, there is no difference between the brain of a premature baby and a normal baby, and whether it is smart or not in the future mainly depends on the development of the brain and the way of education in the future.

    The answers to this question shared above are all personal opinions and suggestions, and I hope that the answer to this question I have shared can help you.

    I am finally here, I wish you all a happy work every day, a happy life, a healthy life every day, a prosperous family and everything, a fortune every year, and a prosperous business, thank you!

    There is no difference. After the birth of a premature baby, actively cooperate with the doctor**, strengthen daily life care, ensure adequate nutrition, and take the baby to the hospital in time when sick.

    Most premature babies are intellectually identical to normal babies. But pay attention to whether the premature baby has brain damage.

    There is a difference. Premature babies are not yet fully developed, and premature babies are small and fragile, so they are slower to respond than normal babies. However, if you can get even ** the day after tomorrow, the premature baby can return to normal, so don't worry about this.

    There are two scenarios. 1. Premature birth leads to mental retardation or cerebral palsy in the baby, and the intelligence is definitely not as good as that of a normal baby;

    2. If there is no disease after premature birth, it is no different from a normal baby.

    In fact, there is no difference fundamentally, the premature baby just stays in the mother's womb for a few days, the baby's intelligence needs to be cultivated, and he can slowly teach him Chinese characters and cultivate reading from a young age.

    I think as long as there are not too many premature births, there is actually no difference in intelligence, and most of the baby's intelligence is actually inherited from the parents, so premature birth should have little impact on the baby's intelligence.

    Preterm birth is one of the important factors that cause mental retardation in children. The late stage of pregnancy is particularly critical for fetal brain development, and premature babies leave their mothers early, which not only reduces the number of brain cell proliferation, but also imperfect the development of various organ systems in the body.

    Personally, I don't think there is much difference between premature babies and normal babies in terms of intelligence, but babies who may be born prematurely will have slower mental development.

    The child's intelligence has nothing to do with prematurity and term, premature birth in a certain month, as long as the child is born after 8 months, there will be no physiological impact, the level of intelligence depends on the parents' genes, as well as the acquired efforts, the child's excellence is determined by nurture, and congenital factors only have a small part of the impact.

    Premature babies are able to catch up with normal babies within two weeks. However, some premature babies are born with low blood sugar and low blood calcium, causing febrile convulsions, resulting in brain nerve damage, thus endangering the brain development of premature babies and resulting in low intelligence. Therefore, for premature infants, it is necessary to take good care of them and check them on time to prevent higher damage to the baby.

    If the premature infant is not treated before 32 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus will be born with more severe ventricular breath, and the recovery will be more suboptimal, and there is a greater probability of damage to the central nervous system, thus leading to more serious intellectual retardation. If after 32 weeks of pregnancy, premature babies who have been treated by intervention do not have a relatively serious ventricular condition and the survival rate basically reaches the level of full-term babies, then the damage to the central nervous system will be much lighter, and the probability of mental impact will be greatly reduced.

    Every child's condition is different and it is not certain that they will be affected. Like my baby was born at 28 weeks, born 2 pounds and 2 taels, is a sure slap baby, when living in the incubator is also a critical notice of a big push, the doctor will talk about the situation is particularly serious, it is said that like my baby intelligence this week should be affected, my baby is more lucky, not more than 7 months will call mom, seven months will call dad, now not eleven months, to say that the parents of the big grandmother, can understand some such as a warm welcome goodbye and other words, very naughty, is a nosy woman. The doctor said that the child was definitely not stupid.

    Naturally, there are some big sports that are definitely a bit outdated compared to full-term babies, after all, there are so many premature babies. Until now, doctors have not seen the state of intellectual backwardness.

    The weight of the brain in premature babies is generally 370 grams during the period of term and doubles by June. Doubled again in the course of 2 years of age. At this time, the net weight of the human brain is three times that of a newborn baby at term.

    In babies between zero and six months, the human brain creates 700 nerve cell connections per second. Nerve cell connections are subject to innate hazards and acquired natural environment. Especially parent-child activities with parents.

    Between 6 months and 3 years old, the rate of brain development is about 80% to 90%, and the total number of axons in the child's brain will increase rapidly at this stage. It's like a small tree absorbing nutrients and slowly becoming more and more luxuriant. Therefore, the leading cadres are three years old is an important period of brain development, if their baby is a premature baby, the mother can complete the correct guidance according to this stage, the baby's intelligence will take a very big leap, and even higher than some full-term babies need to be more intelligent.

    The answer to whether or not the intelligence of premature babies will be affected varies from person to person, some children may be affected, some may not be affected at all, and there are very large individual differences. Theoretically, the younger the gestational age, the more likely premature infants are to develop neurological sequelae, such as cerebral palsy.

    1. Avoid strenuous exercise: in the early stage of pregnancy, when the embryo is not full-term, do not do too much exercise, especially strenuous exercise and exercise that is easy to increase abdominal pressure, although appropriate exercise is required after the second trimester, but the exercise needs to be mainly walking and yoga for pregnant women;

    2. Cervical preventive cerclage: for pregnant women with a history of preterm birth or a history of late miscarriage in the last month, ultrasound examination should be performed at about 12 weeks of pregnancy to measure the length of the cervical canal, if the length of the cervical canal has been progressively shortened, cervical preventive cerclage is required, and patients who are prematurely born due to cervical insufficiency can be subjected to preventive cervical cerclage in the next pregnancy to reduce the risk of premature birth after another pregnancy;

    Most of them are not, unless they are born with respiratory distress or poor development, otherwise their IQ will not be damaged. When you reach the third trimester, you should pay attention to rest, try to reduce your activities, and pay attention to nutritional supplements when preparing for pregnancy.

    If it is just a simple premature infant, there will be no problem with intelligence. In the third trimester, don't eat too greasy food, don't do heavy work, don't work too hard, and go for regular prenatal checkups can avoid premature birth.

    The baby was born prematurely, and the most concerned question for many mothers is, will there be problems with the baby's intellectual development in the future?

    First of all, we can clearly tell mothers that premature birth generally does not affect the child's intellectual development. Most premature babies grow up to be the same as normal people, their weight and length growth after birth are catching up, and they can reach a normal level soon after birth, and their physique, intelligence, growth and development are also normal.

    Secondly, is every premature baby mentally developing normally? Of course, this one is not. There are many reasons for a baby to be born prematurely

    1.Maternal infections in the late stages of pregnancy, placental abruption, placenta previa, severe hypertension and other diseases can cause premature birth of the baby, if the mother factors cause the baby to have fetal distress, intracranial infection, intracranial hemorrhage can cause problems in the baby's mental development after birth (this situation is not clearly related to whether the baby is a premature baby or a full-term baby); However, it should be noted that even if there is a problem with the baby's brain development after birth, it is possible that the intelligence may recover after the intervention of active laughter and dissipation therapy in the later stage.

    2.If the baby has hereditary diseases (such as trisomy 21, Tourer syndrome and other chromosomal genetic diseases), the baby's poor development of some organs in the early stage of organ development (congenital neural tube defects, etc.) will affect the child's intellectual development, and eventually appear growth delay, intellectual disability, etc.

    Therefore, it also depends on the specific situation, not that all premature babies will have intellectual development problems.

    I think that the IQ of a full-term baby is, of course, relatively high because premature babies lack cognitive ability, because after all, premature babies are premature, and they do not have full-term brain development and are not as perfect as full-term infant development.

  17. Anonymous users2024-01-27

    Generally speaking, the brain development of full-term infants will be more complete, but IQ depends on the later brain development, so premature infants do not necessarily have a lower IQ.
