Proactive developmental support for babies born early — and peace of mind for the families and physicians who care for them.
Preemies and medically complex infants leave the hospital with a lot of instructions… and a lot of questions.
These concerns are frequent, valid, and often outside the traditional medical model.
When pediatricians and families have access to Guiding Growth, they gain:
Guiding Growth is the wellness bridge between NICU discharge / early pediatric visits and formal therapy — for babies who need extra watching, extra guidance, and extra reassurance.
Preemies are not “behind” — they’re on a different timeline.
In the first months, their energy is spent on:
Common preemie patterns (often normal, but worrying for parents):
Guiding families through these differences prevents panic and supports development with intention instead of fear.
One of the simplest — and most powerful — tools for supporting preemies is using corrected age.
Example:
A baby who is 4 months old but born 8 weeks early should be expected to show skills closer to a 2-month-old.
Using corrected age:
Our Guiding Growth visits teach parents how to track development using corrected age so they feel informed, not alarmed.
Between pediatric visits, families of preemies and high-risk infants benefit from structured check-ins with pediatric therapy specialists who can:
Monitor feeding, sleep, play, and motor development
Help interpret cues, tone, and state regulation
Provide positioning, handling, and play ideas tailored to each baby
These are wellness-focused, coaching-style sessions, not formal evaluations — ideal for families who say:
“We just want someone to look at our baby and tell us what to work on.”
Guiding Growth offers three private-pay milestone visits, recommended at:
Each visit includes:
Comprehensive review of motor, feeding, sleep, and engagement
Guidance on tummy time, holding, positioning, and play
Parent coaching on reading subtle preemie cues
Personalized handouts with simple home activities
On-the-spot recommendations if true concerns emerge
No formal evaluation. No referral required. No insurance needed.
Physician collaboration is encouraged — and progress notes can be shared for continuity of care.
Think of it as: “A developmental safety net for preemies and their families.”

Personalized handling, positioning, and play strategies
