How does prematurity relate to children with sleeping and feeding problems ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Delayed development: Prematurity is always a risk because it may leave a legacy that results in delayed development. Sleeping and eating are primitive reflexes that are regulated by lower brain control mechanisms. See a nutritionist who understands the benefit of selected vitamins as supplements.
