Did you know preemie babies DO feel pain, and they may actually experience it more intensely than full-term babies, because their inhibitory pain pathways are immature.

So keep that in mind always as you care for those little ones.

The first 1000 days are critical for brain development, with 80% of brain growth occurring in this period. The next 1000 days further shape emotional and social growth. Targeted interventions in these phases improve IQ, health outcomes, and economic productivity.
