After obtaining informed consent, 62 (after 30 infants in the pilot group) very preterm infants will be randomized to 2 levels of sensory exposure: the sensory-based intervention or traditional care group. The parents of infants in the sensory-based intervention group will be educated and supported to conduct sensory interventions with their infants using the systematized protocol. The standard of care group will have therapists and nurses provide and educate parents about sensory exposures. For both care groups, infant neurobehavior and feeding, sensory processing, mother-infant interaction, and parent mental health will be assessed at term age prior to hospital discharge. Child development, sensory processing, and parent mental health will be measured again at age one year corrected using standardized measures. Differences between groups will be explored.
