What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating how half swaddling affects infant sleep routines, maternal sleep quality, and postpartum depression in full-term newborns. This prospective controlled study involves mothers and their babies, aiming to understand if gently wrapping infants in a way that mimics the womb impacts these important outcomes during the first three months after birth. The study includes two groups: one receiving the half swaddling intervention and a control group. Half swaddling involves wrapping the baby with soft fabric without restricting arm and leg movement, applied 15 minutes before each daytime sleep from birth to three months. A total of 128 mother-infant pairs are randomly assigned equally to either the half swaddling group or the control group. Participants will be followed up through telephone interviews at birth, and monthly for three months. Researchers will assess infant sleep routines using questionnaires and measure maternal sleep quality and postpartum depression with validated scales. This allows close monitoring of effects during the postpartum period to better understand the impact of half swaddling on both infants and mothers.
