Key Points

Evaluate evidence-based nurturing care strategies to optimize survival, catch-up growth, and neurodevelopmental outcomes in term infants born small-for-gestational-age.

Focused analysis on full-term infants presenting with birth weights below the 10th percentile for gestational age.
Identified responsive feeding and specialized lactation support as primary drivers for healthy postnatal catch-up growth and metabolic health.
Demonstrated that early psychosocial stimulation and parental responsiveness significantly mitigate long-term cognitive and behavioral deficits linked to intrauterine growth restriction.
