The First 13 Years of “Percorso Giacomo”
PG showed a significant growth over 13 years suggesting the strong need of a service of PPC. The continuity of care provided by PG facilitated parental decision-making process towards redirection of goals of care. The outcomes observed provided valuable insights related to the wide range of prognoses for each diagnosis that will enable more informed counseling in the future
Sitting Acquisition and Early Communication Development
Background : Research in typically and some atypically developing populations showed associations between early motor and communication development, documenting how postural development can support communicative advancements. However, these relations have scarcely been investigated in the preterm population. Aims : The present study aimed to describe motor (gross and fine motor) and communication (receptive and expressive) skills of very preterm …
The Unsung Heroes
We have outlined the prevailing average profile of the milk donor to a milk bank in Southern Italy. Factors impacting the volume and duration of donation, such as maternal age, occupation, type of delivery and gestational age, were identified. The volume and duration of donations have remained largely stable, with the exception of 2021, when the pandemic significantly reduced milk donations to the milk bank
Night Sleep, Parental Bedtime Practices and Language Development in Low-Risk Preterm and Full-Term Late Talkers
Background : Studies on night sleep and parental bedtime practices and their associations with language development in populations at risk of language delay and neonatal conditions, such as late talkers and preterm children, are scarce. Objectives : Our objective was to longitudinally examine the development of night sleep (total night sleep difficulties, settling, night waking, and co-sleeping), parental bedtime practices (total parental bedtime…
Night Sleep and Parental Bedtime Practices in Low-Risk Preterm and Full-Term Late Talkers
Night sleep and parental bedtime practices have rarely been investigated in late talkers. This study aimed to explore: night sleep, parental bedtime practices, and their associations in late talkers as well as individual, socio-demographic, and socio-relational factors affecting them. Parents of 47 30-month-old late talkers, born low-risk preterm ( n = 24) or full-term ( n = 23), with an expressive vocabulary size ≤10th percentile measured by the…
Maternal Singing but Not Speech Enhances Vagal Activity in Preterm Infants during Hospitalization
Maternal singing, but not speaking, enhances preterm infants' vagal activity in the short-term, thus improving the ANS stability. Future analyses will investigate the effect of enhanced vagal activity on short and long-term developmental outcomes of preterm infants in the NICU
Integrating Gestures and Words to Communicate in Full-Term and Low-Risk Preterm Late Talkers
Young children use gestures to practice communicative functions that foster their receptive and expressive linguistic skills. Studies investigating the use of gestures by late talkers are limited. This study aimed to investigate the use of gestures and gesture-word combinations and their associations with word comprehension and word and sentence production in late talkers. A further purpose was to examine whether a set of individual and environme…
Neurodevelopmental Trajectories of Preterm Infants of Italian Native-Born and Migrant Mothers and Role of Neonatal Feeding
There is evidence that preterm infants of migrant mothers are at a higher risk of adverse perinatal outcomes than those of native-born mothers, and that human milk feeding is beneficial to infants' neurodevelopment. Using the United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) to classify mother's country of origin, we investigated whether type of neonatal feeding (human milk vs. mixed milk vs. exclusive formula milk) affected preterm newborn neurodevel…
A Parent-Implemented Language Intervention for Late Talkers
Parent-implemented language interventions have been used for children with expressive language delays, but no study has yet been carried out using this intervention for low-risk preterm children. The current study examined the effect of a parent-implemented dialogic book reading intervention, determining also whether the intervention differently impacted low-risk preterm and full-term children. Fifty 31-month-old late talkers with their parents p…
Speech and Language Skills of Low-Risk Preterm and Full-Term Late Talkers
Among children in the third year of life, late talkers comprise from 9% to 20%. This range seems to increase when addressing preterm children. This study examined video-recorded child spontaneous speech during parent-child book sharing as well as linguistic skills reported through the MacArthur Bates Communicative Development Inventories (MB-CDI) Short Form in 61 late talkers aged 30 months old (26 low-risk preterm, 8 females; 35 full-term, 12 fe…
