Prematurity
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Prematurity refers to the birth of a baby before completing the usual weeks of gestation. Because delivery comes early, some of the newborn's organs and systems may not have fully matured, so special care is needed.
Aspects to consider: Premature babies may need support to breathe, feed, and maintain their temperature, along with close monitoring of their development.
When is follow-up important? During the first months and years, to support growth, motor skills, and other developmental milestones.
Which professionals provide support? In addition to the neonatal team, the physical therapist and the complementary therapist can support stimulation and rehabilitation according to the needs. Close professional support favors the child's development.
