Summary

This study tests whether a simple four-square breathing exercise done before breastfeeding can lower anxiety and improve well-being in mothers whose babies are in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). About 70 mothers will be split into two groups: one does the breathing exercise three times a day for two days, while the other receives standard care. Researchers will measure anxiety, psychological well-being, and infant stress levels to see if this easy, drug-free technique makes a difference.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
four-square breathing exercise
What this could lead to
If it works, this simple breathing technique could offer a low-cost, drug-free way to help NICU mothers feel calmer and less anxious.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 70 participants, so results may not apply widely. The effect on infant stress is also indirect and uncertain.
