[Average prematurity: medical and developmental aspects]. / Prématurité moyenne : aspects médicaux et développementaux.

Children born with moderate prematurity are at increased risk of neonatal morbidity, rehospitalization during the first year, and subsequent medical and neurodevelopmental disorders. Care in a specialized environment, at best without separation of mother and child, is necessary. Early developmental support, particularly through skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding and couplet care, is recommended.
