Article Synopsis
- Parent-infant bonding is crucial for long-term infant health, but preterm birth can disrupt this connection.
- This study aimed to evaluate whether parent-led, infant-directed singing, with the help of a music therapist in the NICU, improves bonding at 6 and 12 months for preterm infants and their parents.
- Conducted in multiple countries with 206 participants, results indicated that music therapy may positively impact mother-infant bonding, as assessed by the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire, although specifics on the effects were still being analyzed.
