Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the influence of intensified tactile contact between mother and newborn on the direction of the emotional transformation of the mother from the physiological, undisturbed delivery to 12 weeks postpartum. The participants will deliver intensified tactile stimulation to their newborns in the form of Shantali massage at least 2 times a day. Researchers will compare the results obtained in the intervention group to the control group in which participants voluntarily did not agree to introduce more intensive tactile contact with the child. The main question the study aims to answer is: Is the direction of the mother's emotional transformation different after the intensification of tactile contact with the newborn in comparison to the control group?
