Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Persistence of infant's physiological symptoms No respiratory distress Not using narcotic drugs and sedatives for the baby Apkar score between 8-10 Completion of the consent form of the baby to participate in the research by the father or mother Absence of congenital anomalies Feeding babies with stored breast milk Low birth weight babies weighing 1500 to 2500 grams

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Seizure of the baby to be discharged Death of a baby Changes in the clinical condition of the baby, such as intubation of the baby hemodynamic disorder during the study (heart rate more than 180 or less than 100 times per minute, breathing more than 60 or less than 30 times per minute, decrease in arterial blood oxygen saturation percentage less than 86%)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Nutritional adequacy: It is the amount of milk that the baby eats in the first ten minutes of feeding, which is calculated in milliliters per minute. Timepoint: Since the babies hospitalized in the intensive care unit are fed every two hours according to the doctor's order, for the post-test at 8:00 am after changing the diaper, the amount of milk ordered by the doctor was poured into the syringe and injected through the syringe. The mouth was given to the baby by a peso-stimulator and the amount was recorded in cc/min.Again, after the intervention (auditory or tactile) at 10 o'clock, the prescribed amount of breast milk was poured into the syringe and given to the baby through the mouth by the researcher, and the amount of cc per minute was recorded.The intervention will be carried out once a day in the morning shift for 3 days (on the fourth, fifth and sixth days of hospitalization). Method of measurement: The amount of milk that the baby eats in the first ten minutes of feeding, which is calculated in milliliters per minute.;Physiological indicators (heart rate, breathing rate and blood oxygen saturation percentage) are measured by SAADAT brand monitoring whose probe is attached to the baby's right hand. Timepoint: At 8 am before the intervention and at 10 am after the intervention, physiological indicators are measured through monitoring. Method of measurement: Physiological indicators (heart rate and breathing rate and blood oxygen saturation percentage) are recorded and measured by monitoring with SAADAT brand whose probe will be attached to the baby's right hand.
