Premature babies do not necessarily have poor physical health as they grow older. If premature infants receive adequate nutrition and proper care in daily life, their physical condition may turn out to be good after growing up. However, if premature babies are picky eaters and lack proper care during daily life, they may end up with poor physical health as adults. In addition, it's important to keep premature infants warm and establish appropriate feeding practices in daily care.
