Kangaroo Care
The preprocedural measurements (weight, heart rate, and oxygen saturation) will be recorded before the first feeding hour when they are included in the study and then they will be held on their mothers' chest for skin-to-skin kangaroo care for half an hour. Their heart rate and oxygen saturation will be recorded for half an hour. At the end of the kangaroo care, the infant will be breastfed by his/her mother. A chronometer will be started at that moment he/she begins sucking and terminated when he/she stops. The infant's heart rate and oxygen saturation will also continue to be recorded during the breastfeeding process. When the breastfeeding process is over, the infant will be allowed to rest in his/her mother's arms for two minutes and his/her physiological parameters will be recorded. Following the breastfeeding process, the infant will be weight is measured without a diaper change and his/her weight will be recorded. Then he/she will be taken back in the incubator to sleep.
Control
The preprocedural measurements (weight, heart rate, and oxygen saturation) will be recorded before feeding when they are included in the study and then they will be breastfed by their mothers. The chronometer will be started at that moment he/she begins sucking and terminated when he/she stops. Also, the infant's heart rate and oxygen saturation will continue to be recorded during the breastfeeding process. When the breastfeeding process is over, the infant will be allowed to rest in his/her mother's arms for two minutes and his/her physiological parameters will be recorded. Following the breastfeeding process, the infant will be weighed without a diaper change and his/her weight will be recorded. When the care process is over, it will be taken back in the incubator to sleep.
