Summary

This study looks at how much time parents spend with their premature babies in the NICU, including skin-to-skin contact and care. Researchers want to see if more parent involvement helps prevent depression, strengthens bonding, and improves the baby's growth and development. About 90 families from Nagano Children's Hospital in Japan are taking part by keeping a simple log of their time with their baby.
