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 different bathing methods for children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) to see how they affect vital signs (like heart rate and breathing) and the child's comfort. It may help find a better way to bathe children in the ICU.
This study tests a gentle swaddled bathing technique for babies born at 32–37 weeks of pregnancy. Researchers will measure whether this method keeps babies physically stable and comfortable during their first bath.
