It is really easy to understand when you are too stressed, worried about the development of premature babies. There are many things you can do to help premature babies catch up with development, but above all try to create comfort, reduce anxiety. Premature babies develop best when they have a normal environment, as often as possible.

1. Most premature babies catch up with good development

All premature babies at birth have slight differences in developmental differences compared to age. However, most premature babies, as long as they are not too young and have no health problems, catch up with good development. These premature babies will mostly develop on a par with their peers at the age of 2.

Parents can follow the simplest, most common but useful habits for the development of premature babies at home to promote and support the development of the child.

2. What can parents do to help premature babies catch up with development?

When the baby is in the hospital, the resuscitation area, you can see a lot of noise. Despite all the attempts to reduce the noise, the alarm still occasionally screams. When the baby is discharged from the hospital, there is no need for the support of machines, trying to create a quiet atmosphere, less noise. For example, turn off the television, radio, dishwashing sound. There is a lot of noise, the baby will be over-stimulated.
When you have settled down with your baby, for a while, let them focus on one problem, do not see you need to stimulate them,when they do not want to breastfeed, sleep, let them sleep. Excessive stimulation will be harmful. It is important to give the child a lot of attention when awake and observe how he reacts. Talk to your child, communicate with them, sing to them, play with them gently.

You can also play music for your child,or observe how they respond to wind instruments, to give them background noise with a musical structure.
Remember that the baby needs rest time as well as stimulation time when awake. Babies grow fast and sleep a lot, sleeping helps them grow fast. That is why it is enough to observe the signs of the baby, such as looking away from you, smiling, yawning and grinding teeth.

To your child's delight, you can leave black or white cards, larger than the colors on the child's bed. Young children are not able to distinguish good colors, so they need contrast, because their eyes are still developing. Observation helps the young brain to develop.

You can help your child by giving him safety, smoothness, warmth through the skin (Kangaroo Care). You can start when your baby is in the hospital and when he comes back with you.

And most of all, rest assured that, if you spend time with your baby when he is awake, give him the opportunity to rest, do all you can. Try to relax. At the same time, the baby will catch up with the mental development, movement compared to his peers.
