Premature births can occur due to maternal health issues, multiple pregnancies, or unknown causes, with each baby's developmental journey being unique.

Adjusted age: A key concept

Adjusted age, or "corrected gestation," is crucial for assessing premature babies' developmental milestones, accounting for time spent in the womb rather than the actual birth date.

Premature babies require specialized care in NICUs for growth and weight gain, requiring adequate nutrition and close monitoring by healthcare professionals to ensure their thriving.

Premature babies may require oxygen therapy or mechanical ventilation for respiratory support, which can impact their early development. However, with proper care, many outgrow these challenges.
