White Noise

White Noise Group (n=30) The third researcher turned on white noise (rain sound; link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZeM-HZeneo) before the start of the eye examination and played it to the infants until the end of the examination.

OTHER

Swaddling

Swaddling group (n=30) The third researcher swaddled each infant with its thin blanket. The swaddling involved bringing the infant's left hand close to the left buttock and wrapping it with the upper right end of the blanket. Similarly, she wrapped the baby's right hand with the upper left end of the blanket by bringing it closer to the right hip. She wrapped the baby's legs with the lower part of the blanket, ensuring that the baby's head could move freely.

White Noise+Swaddling
