Development-oriented care

At Cicogna Neonatal Care we practice development-oriented care in the neonatal period. Development-oriented care is geared towards protecting your baby from environmental stimuli that are unnatural for it. Together we will look for signs that your baby is comfortable and signs that your baby is uncomfortable. As a parent, you have an important role to play in this care. Together we will help your baby learn to cope with the stimuli in its environment.
Developmental care aims to:

• Support and encourage your baby’s growth (development).
• Support you as a parent in your role as a parent.
• Reduce any stress your baby may experience as a result of the transition from the safety of the womb to the outside world.
• Protect your baby from unnatural environmental stimuli.
