Summary
At-risk newborn (NB) birth leads to early separation between mother and child, as the critical state of the baby requires specialized care in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). It is a complex environment full of invasive equipment and procedures, in which the NB is restricted to maternal care. Nurses can combine technical care with the application of relational technologies to alleviate the negative effects of the environment on mothers They can encourage them, depending on the state of the baby, to participate in care such as bathing, changing diapers, touching and feeding by gavage and staying with their child most of the time, performing small daily tasks to strengthen the bond[3]
