[Positioning of premature babies in intensive care and neonatal medicine units]

Abstract

Every child born prematurely has skills that professionals must support in order to promote their development. Motor and postural support constitute two important points in the strategies deployed in this regard. Other techniques, such as position changes and skin-to-skin practice, complete the care and monitoring of the baby.
