Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control Group
Babies in the control group will be given only routine ward care (breast milk or formula via tube without stimulation of the pacifier or mother's finger).
No interventions assigned to this group
Experimental Group
The baby will be allowed to suck his father's finger for five minutes three times a day before nasogastric feeding.
finger feeding
The fathers of premature babies in intensive care will be interviewed and an educational booklet will be prepared about finger feeding, cleaning, hygiene, hand washing, the importance of sucking, and the rules to be followed to prevent infection in the newborn, and how to apply it will be explained by the researcher. Babies will be breastfed three times a day for seven days.
