Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The first hours after birth are a sensitive period for promotion of optimal mother-child-interaction and secure attachment. Maternal sensitivity and responsivness are high in the first hours after birth due to high oxytocin levels. Developing optimal mother-child-interaction is more difficult for preterm mothers because mother and child are separated after birth and the preterm infant is not able to show strong signs to promote maternal sensitivity. We hypothesize that promoting skin-to-skin contact of VLBW infants and their mothers for 60 minutes within the first hours after birth improves mother-child-interaction at 5 to 6 months corrected age. We also hypothesize that reactivity of HPA axis and molecular patterns of stress signaling pathways differ in preterm infant with or without SSC after birth.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

visual contact

After initial assessment/stabilization of the VLBW infant, visual contact of mother and infant is permitted for 5 minutes.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

skin-to-skin contact

After initial stabilization mother and preterm infant are cared for skin-to-skin for 60 minuter. SSC is supervised by the attending neonatologist.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Immediately after initial stabilization/ assessment of the VLBW infant, skin-to-skin contact of mother and infant is initiated and kept up for 60 minutes.
