Secondary part including developmental care interventions consist of: change the position every 2-3 hours, hand near face, nesting, Right side or prone position to improve gastric emptying and reduce the effects of gastroesophageal reflux, non-nutritive sucking before invasive intervention and gavage, Using gentle and quiet handling techniques, trunk flexion, shoulder and hip flexion and adduction, prevent suddenly change position and Keep hands of care keeper over the baby's head before beginning any care for providing the infant's sense of care and third part including the onset and end time that need for mechanical ventilation.
