Summary
This study tests whether mothers singing lullabies while bathing their newborns can strengthen bonding, reduce postpartum depression symptoms, and boost parenting confidence. About 98 healthy mothers and their full-term babies will take part. Half will bathe their baby three times a week for two weeks while singing a lullaby; the other half will follow standard care. Researchers will measure bonding, mood, and confidence before and after the two weeks.
