Swaddy positioning device for low-birth-weight newborns in the NICU
This trial tests a special positioning device called Swaddy to help hold your baby comfortably and safely in the incubator. It may help support your baby's development and comfort during their stay in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby weighs 1500 grams (about 3 pounds 5 ounces) or less at birth
- Your baby is in an incubator (a closed, temperature-controlled bed)
- Your baby's heart rate and blood pressure are stable (not needing extra support)
- Your baby does not use CPAP or BIPAP with a cap (a breathing mask that has a built-in cap)
- Your baby is not receiving phototherapy (light treatment for jaundice)

This study tests if gently wrapping (swaddling) or positioning (nesting) your baby helps reduce pain and stress while they are on breathing support. It's for newborns who are breathing fast but otherwise healthy.
This study tests whether gentle swaddling or a technique called 'facilitated tucking' (holding the baby in a curled, comfortable position) helps premature babies feel more comfortable while they are on nasal CPAP breathing support. The goal is to see if these simple comfort measures can reduce stress and improve care for late preterm infants.
This trial tests a special new incubator that lets parents hold their premature baby skin-to-skin more safely and for longer, even when the baby needs breathing help. It aims to see if this incubator is a good way to give tiny babies the comfort of being held.
This study compares two swaddling methods to see which one helps babies sleep better, cry less, and makes mothers more comfortable. It is for healthy babies aged 1-4 months who cannot roll over yet.
This study tests whether gentle swinging helps newborns sleep better and have more regular sleep-wake cycles. It may help parents understand how to soothe their baby.
This trial tests whether a special care approach, called developmental care, helps very low birth weight babies (under 1500 grams) who need a breathing machine. The goal is to see if this type of care improves their development and health in the NICU.
