Summary

This study looks at whether placing a newborn on their mother's chest in a side position (side kangaroo position) can make them more comfortable and improve their heart rate, breathing, and oxygen levels while they receive noninvasive breathing support. About 92 babies born between 32 and 36 weeks will take part. Half will get the side kangaroo position, and the other half will receive standard care. Researchers will measure comfort using a special scale and check vital signs before, during, and after the procedure.
