This prospective study is planned as a randomized controlled study with the purpose of determining the effect of kangaroo care and swaddling methods on pain levels and crying times by newborns during heel blood collection.
The research was planned as a randomized controlled study to investigate the effect of breast milk smell and mother's smell applied while heel blood was taken to term babies in the Mersin City EAH Neonatal Intensive Care Unit between October and December 2023, on acute pain and crying duration. During the heel prick procedure, which is routinely performed in the neonatal intensive care unit, no pharmacological/non-pharmacological method will be applied to the control group to reduce the baby's pain before, during and after the heel prick. The baby's pain score will be evaluated by the observing nurse according to the NIPS pain scale 5 minutes before, during and 5 minutes after the procedure. In the study group that will be made to smell the mother's scent; The mother of each baby whose heel blood will be taken will be given a specially made cover made of 100% cotton yarn, sterilized the day before, and the mother will be asked to put the cover on her bare skin (on her bare skin) after the shower and to keep the cover on the mother's chest for one night (8 hours). It will be placed 15 cm away from the baby and smelled 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after the heel prick attempt. The baby's pain score will be evaluated by the observing nurse according to the NIPS pain scale 5 minutes before, during and 5 minutes after the procedure.
The goal of this interventional study is to investigate effects of a2 Full Cream Milk on Breastmilk composition and subsequent Infant gut health, crying frequency and sleep patterns in Healthy Full-term Infants. 50 mothers and thier infants will be enrolled into 2 study sites, mother and her child as one subject will be randomized to 2 groups for assigned interventions, a2 Full Cream Milk and conventional Milk (Weidendorf). The study will continue for 14 days, and 3 site visits will be made duing the study period. All data specified in the protocol will be captured and recorded into CTMS for analysis. Researchers will compare the two groups of participants to see if a2 Full Cream Milk has significantly better breastmilk composition and improve infant's gut health, crying frequency and sleep patterns.
At Yale New Haven Hospital, parents on the postpartum ward receive a Take 5 program to help train and prepare parents for strategies to manage their infant's crying. Inconsolable crying is a leading cause for abusive head trauma (AHT) in infants, and the Take 5 program has proven effective in reducing rates of AHT. However, it is also important to examine new ways of improving AHT preventative programs to optimize outcomes for infants. The purpose of this proposal is to determine whether adding a one-minute audio-clip of an infant crying, which specifically addresses AHT, to the Take 5 message given to parents of newborns on the postpartum floor of the hospital strengthens the preventive message. This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of parents on the postpartum ward; half will receive just Take 5, and the other half will receive the audio-clip and Take 5. Our hypotheses to be tested are that relative to parents who had Take 5 alone, those parents who hear the audio-clip before learning Take 5 will: 1. Have higher HR/BPs and higher negative affect after the training session 2. Be more likely to remember use Take 5 when they became frustrated with their infant's crying when followed up 6 weeks later. 3. Be more likely to tell other people about Take 5 and be more likely to say Take 5 was useful.
This study aims to investigate the effect of probiotic added to the diet of mothers on infantile colic in the postpartum period and the content of the neonatal intestinal microbiota.
This is a in-home observational study of 12 healthy term infants of ≤15 weeks of age to compare infant crying and fussing parameters documented by the LENA recorder with those documented via parental e-diaries
The proposed study is designed to investigate whether the PURPLE Crying program attains efficacy by optimizing the neural response in the anterior insula, and augmenting activity in regions of the brain known to be important for emotion regulation. The aim is to determine the effects of the PURPLE Cry Intervention by investigating the following: - independent variables that may affect a father's neural response to infant cries - effects of the PURPLE cry intervention, compared to a control intervention, on fathers' reported aversiveness and empathy in response to cry stimuli - effects of the PURPLE cry intervention, compared to a control intervention, on fathers' neural response to unknown infant cries compared to a tone control - effects of the PURPLE cry intervention, compared to a control intervention, on fathers' neural responses to own infant cries compared to unknown infant cries The investigators hypothesize: - prior to the PURPLE material, fathers' neural responses to infant cry stimuli will be modulated by the following variables: subjective self-reported emotional reaction to cry stimuli, hormone levels, sleep quality and quantity, sex of the infant, infant temperament, life stressors, parental expectations, personality (neuroticism), and father's own childhood experience - fathers who receive the PURPLE material compared to those that receive the control intervention will report a larger decrease in aversiveness and a larger increase in empathy in response to cry stimuli - fathers who receive the PURPLE material compared to those that receive the control intervention will show a larger decrease in activity in the anterior insula and amygdala in response to cry stimuli - fathers who receive the PURPLE material compared to those that receive the control intervention will show a larger increase in activity in regions of the brain important for emotion regulation, such as the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) and orbitofrontal PFC - fathers' neural activity in the amygdala in response to their own infant's cry stimuli will be positively correlated with both their own and infant testosterone levels
The aim was to test the hypothesis that oral administration of Lactobacillus reuteri in a prospective randomized controlled study would improve symptoms of infantile colic.
This study shows that cycled light during neonatal care reduces infant's fussing and crying behavior at 5 and 11 weeks corrected age and improves growth during neonatal care.
