Summary

Attachment is built primarily on the first interactions of the first 9 months of a baby's life. These first interactions and their effects of stress, pleasure and displeasure are retained to establish some of the baby's attachment behaviours and future relationships with others.

Extreme prematurity strongly modify these first interactions between parents and child. Very preterm child is separated from his parents and is placed in a stressful, technical and potentially painful environment.

Early interventions stimulate neuroplasticity and can positively affect the neurological development of very preterm infant. Tactile stimuli such as skin-to-skin contact and massages carried out by parents can be pleasant experiences that can support early interactions between parents and child.
