Summary

This study tests a home-based program called IBAIP for very preterm babies (born before 33 weeks). The program coaches parents to support their baby's self-regulation and development from hospital discharge to 6 months corrected age. Researchers will measure the babies' cognitive, language, and motor skills at age 2. The goal is to see if this early, family-centered approach improves long-term brain development.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Infant Behaviour Assessment and Intervention Program (IBAIP) - a home-based family-centered intervention
What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a simple, home-based way to improve brain development in very preterm infants.
What could go wrong: This is a relatively small, early-stage study. The program may not show clear benefits, and results may not apply to all preterm babies.
