Recent evidence supports safeguarding sleep (especially active sleep) as a neuroprotective approach in the NICU. The crucial role of sleep was highlighted by Wang et al. (2023) when examining the association between active sleep and white matter development of preterm infants between 28-32 weeks GA.

"Results revealed that preterm infants with higher active sleep percentages during their NICU stay exhibited significantly larger white matter volumes at term-equivalent age" (Wang et al., 2023, p.1).

I’m so grateful for the neonatal therapist I work with. They’ve taught me so much! Neonatal massage is important for our little ones!

January's featured course is called, Neonatal Massage: What, Why, and How?

This course will provide neonatal therapists with knowledge of what the neuroscientific basis is behind neonatal massage, why massage is valuable to patients, families, and the NICU, and how it can be implemented with the majority of babies admitted to the NICU.

This extended course is free for Members, $57 for non-Members
