Using a day care is not recommended as it may increase the risk of infection for a premature infant. Discouraging sibling interaction is also not recommended as interaction with siblings can promote socialization and bonding. However, holding and rocking the infant, interacting face to face, and talking softly and singing to the infant are all recommended to promote development, bonding, and attachment.
