Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Experimental (cradle position)

The newborn in cot bed was swaddled freely with the help of a thin blanket during feeding. Then, the nurse, wearing a box apron, took the baby in her arms and gave it a cradle position. The baby's physiological parameters and Comfort Scale were filled in before feeding began. The baby was kept in a cradle position on the researcher's lap during feeding. Immediately after feeding, without changing the baby's position, the physiological parameters and Comfort Scale were evaluated a second time, and again 15 minutes after feeding, without changing the position, the physiological parameters and Comfort Scale were evaluated a third time and recorded. Then, the baby was gently and slowly laid down on the denim bed as usual (right lateral).
