“…The effect of developmental care on outcomes of preterm neonates has been indicated to be mix; however better outcomes have been previously indicated (11, 15, 16). On the other hand, recent studies suggest that NICU has a negative effect on the growth of high risk neonates with vulnerable brain; even treatment with oxygen and steroids has short-term positive and long-term negative effects on these babies (17, 18).…”

Introduction:Choice of appropriate nutrition has a special place, which variations in dietary nutrient can potentially be involved in growth deficits in preterm neonates.Aim:to investigate the effect of protein supplementation in very low birth weight (VLBW= birth weight under 1500 grams) infants on neurological growth in the third year of birth.Material and Methods:We investigated neurological growth in two groups of control and intervention (each group, n= 18 subjects). The intervention group includes 3-year-old children who weighting less than 1200 grams at birth and have received protein supplementation at the course of NICU hospitalization, protein was added to maternal milk when the amount of milk reaches to 100 cc/kg/day, at this time parenteral nutrition was discontinued and the volume of feeding was increased 20cc/kg/day until reached to 150-180cc/kg/day. We also added the fortifier to breast milk at this time (FMS- Aptamil- DANON). The fortification and the protein supplementation were stopped when the weight of the baby reached to 1500 grams. The control group was fed similar to the intervention group, without protein supplemental intake. Neurodevelopmental outcomes were evaluated using ASQ, NEWSHA and BINS tools.Results:There was no significant difference between the mean head circumference in the two groups (p=0.209). There was no significant relationship between neurological growth rate evaluated by BINS tool in two groups (p=0.266). There was a significant correlation between the neurological development assessed by the ASQ tool in the areas of communication (p=0.014) and gross motor (p=0.001) in the two groups, however, no significant relationship was found in terms of fine motor (p=0.63), problem solving (p=0.07) and personal-social relationships in both groups (p=0.152). There was a significant correlation between neurological development evaluated using the NEWSHA tool in terms of auditory (p=0.031), verbal language (p=0.024), cognitive (p=0.007), social connection (p=0.034) and motor (p=0.002) in the two groups.Conclusion:Protein intake in preterm infants didn’t reveal long term effects on the growth of head circumference. Moreover, it was capable of improving neurological growth in the areas of communication and gross motor (based on the ASQ) and auditory, verbal language, cognitive, social connection, and motor (based on the NEWSHA).

Human and animal studies demonstrate that early auditory experiences influence brain development. The findings are particularly crucial following preterm birth as the plasticity of auditory regions, and cortex development are heavily dependent on the quality of auditory stimulation. Brain maturation in preterm infants may be affected among other things by the overwhelming auditory environment of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Conversely, auditory deprivation, (e.g., the lack of the regular intrauterine rhythms of the maternal heartbeat and the maternal voice) may also have an impact on brain maturation. Therefore, a nurturing enrichment of the auditory environment for preterm infants is warranted. Creative music therapy (CMT) addresses these demands by offering infant-directed singing in lullaby-style that is continually adapted to the neonate’s needs. The therapeutic approach is tailored to the individual developmental stage, entrained to the breathing rhythm, and adapted to the subtle expressions of the newborn. Not only the therapist and the neonate but also the parents play a role in CMT. In this article, we describe how to apply music therapy in a neonatal intensive care environment to support very preterm infants and their families. We speculate that the enriched musical experience may promote brain development and we critically discuss the available evidence in support of our assumption.
