This crossover design experimental study aims to compare the physiological stability of premature newborns during and after a cluster of care compared to a period when they receive standard non clustered care at the neonatal unit.
The cluster care will take place at the time of feeding of the premature infants. The intervention will start with a calm period of 20 minutes before the start of care (no manipulations will be allowed), the baby will then received the cluster care for 20 minutes and a quiet period of 30 minutes will follow after the cluster care.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Physiological stability (heart rate, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation) | The physiological stability will be measured with the SCRIP score. The Stability of the cardiorespiratory system in premature infants is a scale, in which a score of 0 means major physiological instability and a score of 6 means a physiological stability. For every single parameter there's three grades from severe instability (0 points) to minor instability (1 point) to perfect stability (2 points). | The physiological stability will be measured for 70 minutes. |
