Abstract

Positioning an infant in a physiological way is not trivial, even more so when it is born prematurely. To promote development, a posture that allows self-regulation and vegetative stability is essential. Particular attention must be paid to good positioning throughout the hospitalization in neonatal services, whether during or outside of care, during skin-to-skin sessions or in babywearing.

Keywords: développement sensori-moteur; motor skills; motricité; neonatology; neurodevelopment; neurodéveloppement; néonatalogie; postural support; sensory-motor development; soutien postural.
