We focus on sensory regulation, motor development, and feeding, using play-based strategies that respect your baby's pace and comfort levels.
When are babies considered premature?
Understanding gestational age is the first step in providing the right care and milestones support for your little one.
Late Preterm
Babies born between 34 and 36 completed weeks of pregnancy. This is the most common category of prematurity.
Very Preterm
Babies born between 28 and 32 weeks of pregnancy. These little ones often require more specialized support in the NICU.
Extremely Preterm
Babies born before 28 weeks of pregnancy. They are the most fragile and require expert multidisciplinary care.
Please know that gentle, specialized support is available to guide you through every stage. No matter when your baby arrived, we are here to help them reach their full potential.
What is Prematurity?
A baby is considered premature if they are born before 37 weeks of pregnancy. This gestational age is a key marker, as those final weeks are vital for organ development. While arriving early presents unique challenges, remember that every baby is on their own unique timeline and develops at their own beautiful pace.
Degrees of Prematurity
Prematurity is often grouped into degrees. Late preterm babies are born between 34 and 37 weeks, very preterm before 32 weeks, and extremely preterm before 28 weeks. Each stage requires different levels of care and nurturing.
A Journey of Patience
Seeing your baby grow is a journey filled with milestones, both big and small. By understanding gestational age and prematurity, we can better support their sensory and motor needs as they flourish in their own time.
