Objective To analyze the value of early clinical intervention in promoting infant development in children with growth retardation. Methods 40 infants with growth retardation admitted to our hospital from February 2022 to February 2023 were selected as the research subjects. According to the number table method, patients were randomly divided into a control group (n=20) and an observation group (n=20). The observation group received infant development promotion exercises intervention, while the control group received routine intervention. The clinical intervention satisfaction, developmental quotient, and oral motor function of the two groups were compared. Results There was no significant difference in the scores of adaptability, large motor ability, fine motor ability, speech ability, and personality social behavior between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05). After intervention, the scores of adaptability, large motor ability, fine motor ability, speech ability, and personality social behavior were higher than before intervention (P<0.05), and the observation group was higher than the control group (P<0.05); There was no significant difference in the oral motor function score between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05). After intervention, the oral motor function score was higher than before intervention, and the observation group was higher than the control group (P<0.05); The satisfaction of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The use of infant development promoting exercises in early clinical interventions for children with growth retardation can promote infant growth and development, enhance infant oral motor function, improve developmental quotient, and have significant clinical utility value.
