Explanation:
1. A premature infant might not have a mature immune system; therefore, day care might present an infection issue. The needs of this child might not be met in a day care setting with many children.
2. Sibling interaction is important and should be encouraged.
3. Holding and rocking the infant stimulates the infant's sense of motion, facilitating parent–infant bonding.
4. Interacting face to face stimulates the infant's sense of vision, facilitating parent–infant bonding.
5. Talking softly and singing to the infant are activities that stimulate the infant's senses of hearing, touch, and motion, facilitating parent–infant bonding.
