Study Summary
Reading to children is believed to be beneficial to cognitive and mental development.This study will examine the response of premature Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) infants to bedside reading by measuring changes in heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and oxygen levels. The investigators will follow rates of common preterm health issues while in the hospital and time to hospital discharge. Effects of bedside reading on parental stress and infant bonding will be measured and compared to usual rates of these indicators to determine if reading to babies reduces stress and enhances bonding.
