An Australian study has found premature babies face a higher risk of developmental and behavioural delays than previously thought.
A research by Melbourne's Royal Women's Hospital has revealed that babies born moderately-to-late preterm could face more challenges than earlier thought.
This includes delays in the development of motor skills, cognitive skills, language and being able to cope in different social settings.
It had earlier been accepted that children born between 32-to-36 weeks did not suffer any significant problems.
