Supporting Your Premature Baby’s Development: Essential Tips and Activities
Was your baby born more than 3 weeks early? Premature development differs from full-term, but there’s no need to worry! Let’s explore effective ways to understand and support your baby’s growth and milestones.
Premature babies are often born with more extended (straight) positions, while full-term babies get a curled up (flexed) feeling from being in the womb longer. Babies need both flexion and extension to help their motor skill development.
Try these activities to aid your preemie’s physical growth and work on their flexion. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
• Swaddling: Helps bring your baby’s arms to the middle, providing comfort and aiding in muscle development.
• Side Lying: Reduces gravity’s impact, making it easier for your baby to move their arms and legs.
• Bringing Arms and Legs to Midline: Encourages flexion by helping your baby bring their limbs to the center of their body.
• Tummy Time: Strengthens neck, back, shoulder
