Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Physiological parameters. Timepoint: 5 minutes before intervention as baseline data and then every minute for 7 minutes and then 10 minutes after intervention. Method of measurement: the use of neonatal pals oximetry.;Neonatal weight gain. Timepoint: Once before the intervention, then on a daily basis. Method of measurement: Baby scales.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Behavioral state. Timepoint: The duration of the intervention is based on the protocol of 7 minutes, each period of the intervention is from 8 am to 11 pm, based on the clinical situation and the readiness of the infant. Measure the behavioral status of 5 stings before the intervention and then every minute for 7 minutes and 10 minutes after the intervention is measured. Method of measurement: Anderson Behavioral State Scale (ABSS).	—
