This prospective cohort study was conducted on stable preterm infants (31 to 35 weeks gestation). Neonates were subjected to either daily KMC for 60 minutes, daily KMC for 120 minutes or conventional care (controls) for at least 7 days. Neonates were evaluated by Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Network Neurobehavioral Scale (NNNS) at 36 weeks gestation. Salivary cortisol was measured before and after first KMC session and after 7 days.

| Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Network Neurobehavioral Scale (NNNS) | applying Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Network Neurobehavioral Scale (NNNS) which is used to assess the neuro-behavioral performance of neonates.It consists of 13 subscales :Habituation, Attention, Arousal, Regulation, Handling procedures, Quality of movement, Excitability, Lethargy, Non-optimal reflexes, Asymmetric reflexes, Hypertonicity, and Stress/abstinence scale.Scores of subscales are from 1 to 9. | the age of 36 weeks |

For stress, lethargy, non-optimal response and asymmetic reflexes, the higher the seb-scale, the worse. In other sub-scales, the higher the scale, the better. | the age of 36 weeks |
