ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how kangaroo care (holding a baby close to your chest) and lullabies can affect both mothers and their premature babies. The study will focus on babies born between 28 and 37 weeks of gestation who are in stable health, and it aims to see if these comforting practices can help improve the babies' health and reduce anxiety levels in mothers.

To participate, mothers must be willing to take part, and their babies should be healthy and within the specified gestational age. Unfortunately, babies born earlier than 28 weeks or later than 37 weeks, or those who are not stable, won't be eligible. Throughout the study, if a baby's health suddenly changes or if they need help breathing, they will not continue in the trial. This study is not yet recruiting participants, but if you qualify, you can expect to engage in comforting activities with your baby that might benefit both of you.
