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 questions are common, valid, and often fall into the gray zone between needing formal therapy or just a wellness visit to help with guiding the babies growth.
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.
If your baby’s start looked different than you expected, your worries make sense.
This short video explains why NICU parents often feel uncertain and why questions are normal, not a sign something is wrong.
Hearing words like “low tone” or “floppy” can be scary, but context matters.
This video explains why these patterns are often typical for preemies and how therapists interpret them through a developmental lens.
Preemies are not “behind,” they’re developing on a different timeline.
In the early 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.
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.”
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 Program teach parents how to track development using corrected age so they feel informed, not alarmed.
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.

Personalized handling, positioning, and play strategies
