weight
Weight gain after randomization up to infant doesn´t need to stay in kangaroo position at home.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 20 days
Kangaroo position days at home
Number days that the infant needs to stay in kangaroo position at home
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 20 days
Alert states
The mother will observe and record YES OR NO the baby woke up during the intervention
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 20 days
Types of feeding
The mother will report whether or not the baby fed during the intervention and will identify the type of feeding (exclusive breast milk, formula or mixed)
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 20 days
Perceived maternal parental self-efficacy
The questionnaire contains 20 items with a Likert scale (1. Totally disagree, 2. disagree, 3. agree and 4. totally agree) the minimum value is 20 and the maximum is 80 and the higher scores means a better outcome.
Time frame: Given by a self-report provided by the mother of the perceived maternal parental self-efficacy questionnaire on day 1 before randomization and day 7 and 14 after randomization
Postnatal depression
. This scale contains 10 points of 0, 1, 2 and 3 are given according to the increase in the severity of the symptom. The points for questions 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 are scored in reverse order (3, 2, 1, 0). All points are added together to give the total score. A score of 10+ means worse outcome and shows the probability of depression
Time frame: Given by a self-report provided by the mother of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale on day 1 before randomization and day 7 and 14 after randomization
