Facilitated Tucking Position's Effect on Comfort and Breastfeeding

The nurse placed the neonate in the facilitated tucking position by rolling up a sizeable sterile towel in a U-shape and covering it with covers available in the unit and then placed the neonate in a supine position. The physiological parameters at admission and in the 15th and 30th minutes of facilitated tucking were recorded. In the 30th minute of facilitated tucking, the researcher and the observer nurse completed the COMFORTneo simultaneously but separately. The neonate was in the facilitated tucking position until delivered to its mother. The researcher and the observer nurse had a full view of the neonate's face and body when completing the COMFORTneo, which took them about two minutes. After the neonate stabilized (within the first half an hour to an hour), it was delivered to its mother for breastfeeding based on specialist consent. The first breastfeeding was performed and completed the LATCH by researcher and the observer nurse.
