[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Using advanced imaging techniques, the researchers found that by the time the babies were discharged from the NICU (on average, three months after birth), infants in the private rooms showed abnormalities in the structure of the brain’s language area compared with infants who were cared for in open wards.”

"Infants cared for in the SFR NICU had higher Bayley III cognitive and language scores, higher rates of human milk provision at 1 and 4 weeks, and higher human milk volume at 4 weeks. In adjusted regression models, the SFR NICU was associated with a 2.55-point increase in Bayley cognitive scores and 3.70-point increase in language scores."
