Care: Automatic Baby Swing
The Automatic Baby Swing aims to calm the baby by mimicking their natural movements. In this study, the low-speed "Rock-a-Bye" mode will be used because it mimics natural parental movements, making it easier for babies to fall asleep. During the implementation phase: After the baby's general condition is checked, the treatment will begin according to the group to which they were randomly assigned. If the baby is assigned to the Automatic Baby Swing, their sleep, comfort, and physiological parameters will be measured "First in the Automatic Baby Swing, Then in the Incubator" for 60 minutes during the day and night. If the baby is assigned to the other group, their sleep, comfort, and physiological parameters will be measured "First in the Incubator, Then in the Automatic Baby Swing" for 60 minutes during the day and night.
