Brief Summary
When a newborn is delivered in good physiological condition, immediate skin-to-skin contact with the mother is required. Skin-to-skin contact has a wide range of benefits for both mother and baby. The implementation time can start from the birth of the newborn and continue until thereafter. There are benefits both in the short and long term, such as physiological stability, parent-child relationship development, and stability of children's behavioral development. There were 108 cases admitted and the attrition rate was 10%. Therefore, the total number of cases admitted was 118, divided into experimental groups and control groups, and intervention measures were implemented in the experimental group. From the 1st to the 30th day after delivery, there is 1 hour of skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby every day. Fill out the Sleep Quality Visual Analog Scale, Maternal Confidence Scale, and Mother-Infant Bonding Scale on the day after delivery and at one month later.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
sleep quity Visual Analogue Scale
A score of 0 is the worst sleep quality A score Score 10 points for best sleep quality
postpartum 30 DAY
maternal confidence scale
A score of 0 means never A score of 1 means very little A score of 2 means sometimes A score of 3 mean often A score of 4 mean always The higher the score, the higher the confidence in parenting.
postpartum 30 DAY
bonding scale
A score of 1 represents strongly disagree, A score of 2 means disagreement, A score of 3 means somewhat disagreeing, A score of 4 means somewhat agree, A score of 5 means agreement A score of 6 means strongly agree The higher the score, the closer the emotional connection between mother and baby.
