What this trial studies

This study investigates how half swaddling affects the sleep routines of term infants and the sleep quality and mental health of their mothers. In a controlled setting, 128 mother-infant pairs will be randomized into two groups: one receiving half swaddling before sleep and a control group. The intervention involves swaddling the infant in a way that allows for some movement, aiming to create a sense of security similar to the womb. Follow-up interviews will be conducted at 1, 2, and 3 months to assess outcomes.
