Big surprise, I am a preemie.
Preterm/Premature is the birth of a baby at less than 37 weeks gestational age
Regular Neonatal Swimming in Mineralised Water
NEVER TOO LATE TO CATCH UP
- At risk of at risk for Developmental Delays due to weakness in their postural control muscles, which are mainly muscles in the neck and truck which stabilise the trunk for coordinated movement of the legs, arms, hands, an even the jaw and mouth
- Significant weakness can cause abnormal movement patterns such as tilting the head back, arching the spine, shrugging the shoulders and/or squeezing the knees together during movement as well as a delay in motor development.
Regular Neonatal Swimming in Mineralised Water
- Minerals are the building blocks of our bodies. They are required for body structure, fluid balance, protein structures and to produce hormones
- Dead Sea minerals with natural trace of Sulphur which can disinfect, while the magnesium content acts as an anti -allergic agent
- Hydrotherapy takes water as media to simulate babies senses for more actions and reactions
- Swimming get those postural control muscles trained - Strengthen and stabilise the head and neck, shoulder girdle, abdominals and hips
- Neonatal swimming can accelerate babies' growth in the early stage
NEVER TOO LATE TO CATCH UP
- Parent should consider preemie development in terms of their developmental age rather than chronological age
- Regular aquatic exercise is proven to enhance a baby’s physical and mental development, making preemies to catch up with or even exceed their counterparts with full term
- So what you should do is to seize the golden time - In fact, 85% of brain development occurs during the first three years of life
- Starting from the first month, he or she can engaged in neonatal swimming regularly (at least once a week) to build a healthier body
