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 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 trial tests whether gentle sensory interventions, like soothing touch, can help stable newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) feel more comfortable and possibly improve their sleep and well-being. It aims to see if these calming techniques are safe and beneficial for babies recovering without needing a breathing machine.
This study looks at how infants sleep in two different patterns (biphasic sleep) and how that relates to their development. If your child is 9 months old and healthy, researchers will track their sleep and development over the next 6 months.
This trial studies whether music-based therapy can help improve sleep and body functions in premature babies in the NICU. It looks at data from existing studies to see if music helps.
This study compares two different bathing methods for newborns to see if one is gentler on their heart rate, breathing, and temperature. If your baby is healthy and stable, this study might help improve how babies are bathed in the hospital.
