Preemie Baby Development. Premature infants are also at increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome (sids). Developmental care creates an environment that minimizes the stress an infant experiences in the nicu, while providing a developmentally appropriate experience for both the baby and the family.
Preemie development occurs from the time your baby is born and continues until you baby enters a different developmental phase of his or her life. When placed on her tummy, she will try to lift her head. For example, if your baby was born eight weeks early, at age 6 months your baby's corrected age is 4 months.
