Summary

This study tested a special bassinet designed to keep mother and baby together safely after birth. 160 new mothers used either the new Couplet Care bassinet or a standard one. Researchers surveyed mothers about sleep, breastfeeding, and satisfaction, and reviewed medical charts. The goal was to see if the new design improves safety and experience for skin-to-skin contact and rooming-in.
