Different stages of premature birth

 
Different stages of premature birth

Babies born before the 37th week and after the 37th week will have different needs according to their fragility.

There are also important distinctions made between babies who are born before the 6th month of pregnancy, those born between the 6th and 7th month and those born between the 7th and 8th month.
