Swaddy positioning device for small newborns in the NICU
This trial tests a special positioning device called Swaddy for very small newborns (under 1500 grams, about 3.3 pounds) who are in an incubator. The goal is to see if Swaddy helps with comfort and development.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby weighs 1500 grams or less at birth (about 3.3 pounds or less).
- Your baby is in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
- Your baby is in an incubator.
- Your baby is not currently unstable (like having serious heart or blood pressure problems).
- Your baby is not using a breathing mask or cap from CPAP or nasal BIPAP (since those devices already have a built-in cap like Swaddy).
- Your baby is not receiving light therapy (phototherapy).

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 study tests if gentle swinging helps newborns sleep better and wake less. It is for healthy babies born between 35 and 42 weeks.
This study tests whether a special carrying approach helps small, stable babies in the NICU grow and bond with their caregivers. It is for babies who weigh at least 4 pounds, are expected to stay in the hospital for at least 15 days, and do not need oxygen or breathing support.
This study tests if half swaddling (wrapping your baby's lower body) helps improve your baby's sleep, your own sleep quality, and your mood. It is for healthy mothers with healthy full-term babies.
This study is testing a new incubator that lets parents hold their preterm baby skin-to-skin while the baby still gets the warmth and humidity of an incubator. It may help your baby grow and bond with you.
