ABSTRACT
While extraordinary advances have been made in the medical care of critically ill newborns, understanding the need of even the smallest of these infants for early, extensive, intimate human contact and facilitating the family's role in the care of their baby has been much slower and inconsistent. There is abundant evidence for the essential role of nurturing parent-infant connections (bonding/attachment) for development of optimal physical, cognitive, and emotional health of all babies. It is time to leave behind the tradition of sensory deprivation and social isolation common in the care of high-risk infants. A paradigm shift is needed in neonatal care to acknowledge the critical importance of infant and family-centered developmental care and to remove any remaining constraints on a family's ability to become full partners in the nurture of their NICU newborn.
