Newborn senses

It should be noted that in the cases of sight and hearing, premature babies are more at risk for developing problems. Additionally, any injury to the brain will likely have some impact on the development of the senses. Premature babies should be checked for eye and hearing problems before they leave the NICU and at regular intervals following that.

this artile describes the development of the five senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste. click the link below:
