Specific things you can do to help your baby

![Page 15: Premature Birth and Physical Development By: Jessica Bolenbaugh Deandra Borkholder Rachel Brown Jessica Grandlinard](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649e8a5503460f94b8f94b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• One study used 31 infants and randomly received live music, recorded music, and no music therapy.
• The therapy was delivered for 30 minutes• Their conclusions were that with the live
music therapy, the babies hear rate reduced and they slept 30 minutes after the therapy was over
• The recorded and no music therapies had no effect

• Some doctors think that mothers should be discouraged from breast feeding their babies and that they should have a special preemie formula.
• Insisting the formula would better nourish the baby’s unique needs.
• How ever, other doctors think the opposite and that breast milk is the best thing for a premature baby.
• When a mother has a premature baby, she actually makes extra rich milk to make up their lack of nutrients.
