Late preterm infants are babies born between 34 and 37 weeks gestation. These babies look like smaller versions of full term babies. For years, late preterm babies were cared for like full term babies. Research now shows that late preterm babies are not the same as full term infants, and that they have a unique set of needs and challenges. These babies born close to term are, in fact, preemies.
