Conditions

  • Kangaroo Care

Interventions

OTHER

Half swaddle

Half swaddle: HS applied to a newborn baby makes the baby feel completely safe, as if in the womb. After laying the soft fabric or baby blanket, it was placed in the supine position. Half swaddling was done so as not to restrict the baby's arm and leg movements. HS was performed 15 minutes before each sleep during the day until the 3rd month.

OTHER

Kangaroo care

The application was applied twice a day and for 60 minutes every day for 6 months in a row. During KC, the mother placed her baby between two breasts, and the baby's breast was placed on the mother's breast in an upright position. During the application of KC, a quiet, calm, and the suitable environment was created so that comfort of the baby and mother would not be disturbed. The mother and baby are covered with a blanket. The ambient temperature was 26 centigrade degrees during the kangaroo care. In the continuation of the KB application, the mother was asked to breastfeed her baby. In order to prevent the risk of aspiration of the baby after breastfeeding, the baby was placed in the left lateral position so that the mother and the baby could lie down together. The researcher observed the application steps of the mother's KC, and the deficiencies, if any, were corrected by discussing with the mother during/after the application.
