Abstract
This descriptive cohort study documented continuity between family-delivered skin-to-skin care rates for preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit and amounts of child-directed speech at child age 9 months. Involvement in skin-to-skin care may be an early marker of caregiver-infant engagement and a target for early interventions that support positive caregiver-infant interactions.
