Fun Holidays - Early Bird Day

The birth of a baby is a joyful event for his parents and family members. Not all children are born on time - 9 months after conception. Some babies appear earlier than expected. Doctors call premature babies early risers. Doctors have learned to care for babies weighing 500 grams and 22 weeks of age and older, although a few years ago they were called “live-born fetuses.” In honor of children who hastened to be born, a holiday with a touching name was established. July 1 is Early Bird Day. Scientific progress and the development of modern medicine have meant that babies survive in the most adverse circumstances, including being born prematurely. For them, stores sell miniature diapers and clothes, pacifiers and pacifiers. In order to preserve life, doctors carry out rehabilitation measures, put children in nursing boxes, and provide moral support to parents. In premature babies with extremely low body weight, internal organs and the central nervous system are not fully formed, and there are pathologies and developmental deviations. Therefore, many of the early risers eventually become disabled due to intrauterine diseases, oxygen deficiency during childbirth, and the body’s inability to adapt to new realities - meeting the world much earlier than expected. Early Bird Day was established to raise public awareness about the problems of premature babies. Frequent developmental disorders in early birds are cerebral palsy and mental retardation. Japanese scientists conducted research and came to the conclusion that before the 23rd week, a child weighing less than 500 grams is born with severe brain damage that has no development prospects to ensure normal life activities. Therefore, in the future, such children cannot be taught to count and read, nor can they develop fine motor skills and associative thinking. A premature baby opens its eyes when it should still be in the dark in the womb. This leads to retinal detachment and blindness. Today, such early birds are nursed in wards where bright lights are turned off and the incubators are covered with blankets. Thanks to the professionalism of doctors, prematurely born children will eventually catch up with the physical and mental development of their healthy peers. In honor of Early Bird Day, lectures, seminars and other educational events are held. Children born ahead of schedule are monitored dynamically. On July 1, doctors invite former patients and their parents to maternity hospitals and perinatal centers, where babies receive gifts provided by charitable organizations.
