The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if developmental care works when implemented in very low birth weight infants. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does developmental care shorten the length of hospital stay in the very low birth weight infants? * Does developmental care increase the opportunity of family centered care in the very low birth weight infants? The clinical trial will use a 36-month stepped-wedge cluster-randomised trial conducted across 40 Neonatal intensive care units . A developmental care bundle will be tailored to meet the identified needs of participating NICUs.
