Extreme prematurity is when a baby is born before 28 weeks of pregnancy, which is when their important organs are still growing. These babies face numerous challenges due to their underdeveloped lungs, brains, immune systems, and digestive systems. Because the lungs don't have enough surfactant, respiratory distress is prevalent and typically needs mechanical ventilation or particular care for newborns. The brain is fragile, which raises the risk of intraventricular haemorrhage and long-term problems with brain development.

 An undeveloped digestive system might make it hard to eat; therefore, parenteral nutrition or tube feeding is necessary. Furthermore, very premature babies are more likely to have infections since their immune systems aren't fully developed. Another important difficulty is temperature control, since they don't have enough body fat.

Improvements in newborn intensive care, such as incubators, surfactant therapy, and accurate monitoring, have made a big difference in survival rates. But chronic lung illness, eyesight and hearing issues, and developmental delays are examples of long-term disorders that may still be there. To get the best results and help these at-risk babies grow and develop in a healthy way, early intervention programmes, good nutrition, and regular medical care are all important.
