Children born with moderate prematurity are at increased risk of neonatal morbidity, rehospitalization during the first year, and subsequent medical and neurodevelopmental disorders. Care in a specialized environment, at best without separation of mother and child, is necessary. Early developmental support, particularly through skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding and couplet care, is recommended.

Methods: We used an online parental survey to assess answers from parents of very preterm infants who were successfully discharged from French neonatal units. We analysed answers from February 2014 to January 2019 to an anonymous internet-based survey from the GREEN committee of the French Neonatal Society.
Aim: We investigated the historical origins of developmental care for newborn infants using Reference Publication Year Spectroscopy (RPYS), an innovative method of bibliometric analysis.
Methods: A Web of Science search query that combined infant and intervention-related synonyms was performed on 2 February 2022. RPYS analysis was performed on this dataset to identify the most referenced historical publications for developmental care in newborn infants.
Aim: Due to the stress that is classically associated with the premature birth of a child, these parents may be prone to sleep disorders. The aim of this study was to compare sleep quality of preterm infants' parents with that of term infants' parents.
Methods: Prospective observational cohort study conducted at the University Hospital of Brest between January 2019 and January 2021.
