Why does my premature baby need her eyes checked?

Penn Ob/Gyn Care: Health Info - Neonatology FAQ
Premature babies have periodic eye examinations to evaluate for the presence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a disorder in retinal blood vessel development. The retina is the light sensitive layer in the back of the interior of the eye. During gestation, the retina matures slowly, and its blood vessels grow from the very back of the eye toward the outer edge of the retina. By term, the retina is mature, and the blood vessels are in their fully developed positions.

When should my child have his or her eyes checked?

Dakota Eye Institute :: FAQ
All children should have their first eye examination by age 3 or 4 to screen for "lazy eye," also called amblyopia. Parents may be unaware of its development because the eyes may appear normal. If it is not detected by age 9, amblyopia may be difficult or impossible to treat. When detected in early childhood, "lazy eye syndrome" is an easily treatable condition.

Why so early? What dental problems could a baby have?

Header
The most important reason is to begin a thorough prevention program. Dental problems can begin early. A big concern is Early Childhood Caries (also know as baby bottle tooth decay or nursing caries). Your child risks severe decay from using a bottle during naps or at night or when they nurse continuously from the breast. The earlier the dental visit, the better the chance of preventing dental problems.

Is it better for me to breastfeed my early (premature) baby ?

Wirral Hospital Trust - Frequently Asked Questions
The body manufactures specialised proteins called antibodies to fight off infections. Mothers transfer these protective antibodies to their babies through the placenta, during the last 3 months of the pregnancy. This process is interrupted when a baby is born early. For this reason premature babies are especially vulnerable to infection. The good news is that mothers also give their babies antibodies in breast milk. Breastfeeding your baby provides an extra line of defence against infection.
