Developmental Care

Why is Developmental Care so Important?​

Although physical and motor disorders may be more noticeable, preterm and medically fragile infants
are also at greater risk for cognitive, social–emotional, mental health, behavioural, speech-language,
and motor difficulties well into school age and beyond.​

Positioning and Handling​

The goal of supporting the premature infant’s body as closely as possible to the position the baby would have been in the womb.​

Providing developmentally supportive positioning in the NICU influences:​

  • Neuromotor and musculoskeletal development​
  • Physiologic function and stability ​
  • Thermal regulation​
  • Bone density​
  • Neurobehavioral organisation and sleep facilitation​
  • Calmness and comfort ​
  • Skin integrity
