The objective of this randomized clinical trial will determine the effectiveness of nursing intervention (Kangaroo Baby Massage) on the interaction between mothers and premature, low birth weight infants at home The dyad mother- infant of the control group will receive Kangaroo position KP and the dyad mother- infant mothers of the intervention group will receive the Kangaroo Baby Massage KBM

Detailed Description

Participants and methods: 68 dyads mother-infant will randomize, 34 in intervention KBM group and 34 in control group KP, previous they meet inclusion criteria and accept their participation through informed consent. weight gain and Kangaroo position days at home will be the primaries outcomes. The Alert states, Types of BC feeding, Perceived maternal parental self-efficacy and Postnatal depression. Will be secondary outcomes.

Barnard's mother-child interaction theory supports the study

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Kangaroo baby Massage	Kangaroo Baby Massage	The mother will apply the massage. The baby kangaroo will be exposed to the KBM for 10 minutes once a day during the time that the infant need to stay in kangaroo position at home. If the baby wakes up and wants to eat the KBM will be interrupted immediately and the baby will be fed, The temperature will be measured before and after the intervention. The massage will begin 60 minutes after the feed.
Kangaroo position	Kangaroo Baby Massage	The infant must be in Kangaroo position with the mother semi sitting on bed with elevation of at least 30 degrees during 10 minutes every day until the infant doesn´t need to stay in kangaroo position at home.The temperature will be measured 60 minutes after the feed and 10 minutes after KP. If the baby wakes up and wants to eat the KP will be interrupted immediately and the baby will be fed, then the KP will be completed of time ( 10 minutes) to measure the temperature.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
weight	Through study completion, an average of 20 days	Weight gain after randomization up to infant doesn´t need to stay in kangaroo position at home.
Kangaroo position days at home	Through study completion, an average of 20 days	Number days that the infant needs to stay in kangaroo position at home

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Alert states	Through study completion, an average of 20 days	The mother will observe and record YES OR NO the baby woke up during the intervention
Types of feeding	Through study completion, an average of 20 days	The mother will report whether or not the baby fed during the intervention and will identify the type of feeding (exclusive breast milk, formula or mixed)
Perceived maternal parental self-efficacy	Given by a self-report provided by the mother of the perceived maternal parental self-efficacy questionnaire on day 1 before randomization and day 7 and 14 after randomization	The questionnaire contains 20 items with a Likert scale (1. Totally disagree, 2. disagree, 3. agree and 4. totally agree) the minimum value is 20 and the maximum is 80 and the higher scores means a better outcome.
Postnatal depression	Given by a self-report provided by the mother of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale on day 1 before randomization and day 7 and 14 after randomization	. This scale contains 10 points of 0, 1, 2 and 3 are given according to the increase in the severity of the symptom. The points for questions 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 are scored in reverse order (3, 2, 1, 0). All points are added together to give the total score. A score of 10+ means worse outcome and shows the probability of depression
