What this trial studies

The study follows 4–6 month old term infants and measures the relationship between fathers’ involvement in daily infant care and infants’ sensory processing using the Infant Sensory Profile-2. It is observational and looks at how different levels of father participation relate to sensory processing outcomes. Data will come from the infant-care interactions and caregiver reports to explore potential links between paternal involvement and early sensory development.
