Infant Stimulation in Yeshawanthpur

Infant stimulation: What is it?

Various activities can stimulate your baby's senses of vision, hearing, taste, sensation, and odour. You can improve a child's focus, recall, interest, and neurological development through infant stimulation. Additionally, waking your baby's senses will help them develop motor skills and reach milestones sooner.

What's the deal with infant stimulation in hospitals?

There is a possibility of babies being under-stimulated and over-stimulated, so infant stimulation techniques provided in the hospital help provide appropriate stimulation to your baby while they are in the hospital.

Why would a baby have special needs while being hospitalised?

It's stressful for babies to be in the hospital. Your baby's development can be affected by the following things,

  • Your baby is touched by a variety of people.

  • Your baby's daily routine is often disrupted by medical care.

  • Your baby's needs may not get met as quickly as you'd like.

  • There are some medical procedures that can be painful or uncomfortable.

  • You might not be able to reach toys if they're available.

  • Your baby can get overstimulated by lights, beepers, alarms, IVs, etc.

  • There's a chance your baby will get bored being alone, in a crib for long periods of time, or in dull surroundings.

Use of infant stimulation programme

An infant stimulation programme is a sensory enrichment approach for very young children, especially those who are ill or otherwise deprived of typical sensory experiences. As a therapeutic intervention, infant stimulation is the process of providing supplemental sensory stimulation to an infant in any or all of the sensory modalities (visual, auditory, tactile, vestibular, olfactory, gustatory). Supplemental stimulation is used in the intervention to compensate for the absence of normal or typical environmental sensory stimulation or the presence of abnormal or atypical environmental sensory stimulation. Infant Stimulation in Yeshawanthpur is available at Manipal Hospitals, visit today.

Forms of stimulation and administration

Typically, different sensory stimuli treatments are administered by nurses or therapists. The stimuli used differ depending on the patient and the sense in question. Touching, rubbing, or massage, for example, can provide tactile stimulation. Rocking and positioning are examples of vestibular stimulation. Listening to soft music or hearing a human voice can provide auditory stimulation while looking at high-contrast pictures or mobile devices can provide visual stimulation. Tactile, vestibular, and auditory stimulations are the most commonly used for sick infants kept in a NICU environment; each can be administered to approximate the stimulation that the infant received in the womb. Visual stimulation may be added as the sick infant grows older and healthier, and the programme may be modified to simulate the typical sensory environment of the home. Book an appointment at our multi-speciality hospital today.
