Skin-to-skin care and lullabies for premature babies
Part of Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether holding your baby skin-to-skin (kangaroo care) and singing lullabies can help keep both your and your baby's heart rate and breathing steady, and may help lower your stress levels. If your baby was born early but is stable, this simple, comforting activity might be a safe way to bond and feel calmer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
