Did you know?
Your baby's brain grows approximately 1% every day, reaching nearly double its size by their first birthday.
During this important time, early brain connections are being formed that create the foundation for your child's motor development, emotional regulation, cognitive development, and future learning skills.
Primary reflexes are automatic, involuntary survival responses present during infancy. They play an important role in early brain and nervous system development. When they aren't developing, integrating, or functioning as expected, early signs may be identified and supported — well before a delay becomes noticeable.
Proactive care can help prevent
Recognizing NICU stress & trauma
Chronic stress or trauma occurring while the brain is developing — such as time spent in the NICU — can compel developing neural pathways to take abnormal directions, affecting how brain function becomes integrated. This is exactly why primary reflex integration (MNRI) is so critical for NICU graduates and their ongoing brain development.
A must-read for NICU parents
"Recognizing the Potential Effect of Stress and Trauma on Premature Infants in the NICU: How are Outcomes Affected?" explores how caregivers can respond through recognition, prevention, and support.
If your baby spent time in the NICU, or you simply want to give development a head start, proactive care is one of the most valuable things you can do in that first year.
