Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

this study compares motor development of two groups of healthy term babies at the end of their first year of life. Parents of the intervention group have received a training program consisting in advices about correct positions, stimuli, how to play or how to carry their babies. The purpose of this study is to know if motor development can be improved by the environment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Infants in both groups are recruited by the principal investigator at the hospital within two to three days after birth. An initial assessment was carried out at 2 months of age.

Intervention group:

1. Four training sessions (before the baby is 1 month old, at 3 months, at 6, and at 9 months old) teaching the main motor milestones to get in the next 3 months and how to help infants with the correct stimuli, positions or plays; triptychs containing the main points explained at the session and links to short videos about the given bits of advice.
2. Three evaluations of motor milestones at 9, 12, and 15 months old.

Control group:

1\. Three evaluations of motor milestones at 9, 12, and 15 months old.
