Many causes BBLR, among others: BuMil experiencing malnutrition, there is a history BBLR birth, giving birth to twins, BuMil smoking or BuMil age under 16 years old. It could also be from the baby’s own factors (genetic factors) or environmental (for the content of a small baby’s cord that disrupt the food supply).
Must have hospital treatment
Usually, a baby with BB less than 1800 grams must get care hospitals. Therefore, in infants BBLR, maturity, immature organs, mainly lungs and heart. Thus, no wonder if the baby BBLR respirator assistance.
Then, in order to smooth food intake, given intravenous fluids because he was not able to suck milk. In addition, the baby’s body is very sensitive BBLR with changes in temperature – easy experience hipotermi (body temperature below normal) – so need to be treated in the incubator.

• Metabolism disturbed infants, ie, having low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). In fact, this blood sugar to function as a brain food and bring oxygen to the brain. If intake is less glikemi, as a result of nerve cells in the brain die and affect the baby later intelligence.
• Because of the little baby’s skin is still thin, easily occur as a result the body heat of vaporization. If the excess heat of vaporization, the baby has a temperature very low weight (hipotermi). Thus, infants easily run out of energy.
• Easy to infection due to low immune system.
• Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Infants may experience blindness. Typically, ROP was attacked with a BB BBLR babies <1500 g and gestation <30 weeks.
• Disturbance patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)
Some kind of heart problem, usually recorded in the first few weeks or months of birth.
• Disturbances in the brain, among others:
1. Intraventricular Hemorrhage, intracranial hemorrhage (brain) in neonates. Babies suffered neurological problems, such as muscle control disorder (cerebral palsy), delays in development, and seizures.
2. Periventricular Leukomalacia (PVL), damage and softening of the white material – part of the brain that transmits information between nerve cells and spinal cord, as well as from one part of the brain to other parts of the brain. Damaged brain tissue affects the nerve cells that control motor movements, as a result the baby grows with damaged nerve cells and cause the muscles to spasm. Infants with PVL at risk of cerebral palsy, or perhaps intellectual problems (learning difficulties). This disorder usually occurs in infants with gestation <32 weeks.
