Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Mothers who meet the criteria to participate in the research are informed about the research in the delivery room or in the first hours of delivery. The mothers of the experimental group who accept to participate in the research are given training on how to make kangaroo care and what to pay attention to.
Breastfeeding of the mother, the number and frequency of bottle feeding, kangaroo care, diuresis, defecation numbers and weight are recorded by following up. Physiological weight losses are determined by comparing birth weight with daily weight losses.
A cotton kangaroo care blanket is given to every mother who agrees to participate in the study, so that mothers can care for their kangaroos comfortably and to continue kangaroo care at home. These covers, prepared for kangaroo care, increase the motivation of mothers to participate in the study. In order to facilitate the follow-up of diuresis and defecation numbers, the family is supported in the evaluation of diapers (number, weight).

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Kangaroo care
The mothers of the experimental group who accept to participate in the research are given training on how to make kangaroo care and what to pay attention to.
Kangaroo care training
During perinatal period, mothers are given extra training (other than routine newborn care) about kangaroo care. Baby-mother diad is called for weight check-ups.
Control group
The mothers of the control group who accept to participate in the research are NOT given any extra training other than routine breastfeeding and care of a newborn.
No interventions assigned to this group
