The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Kangaroo Mother care can have effect on oxidative stress in premature neonates. It will also learn about the bonding between mother and her premature infant. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Participants will be:
Researcher will follow existing guidelines for shifting of infant from incubator to the mother's chest. The researcher will assist the mothers to have the baby from the incubator and to sit in the special KMC chair and bed. Urine will be collected from premature infants before and after KMC/Incubator care on third day of life by applying urine collection bag. This method is highly successful in collecting urine non-invasively. Collected urine is then placed in ice box till transportation to lab at University of Health sciences(UHS). and stored at -80 °C. After completion of data collection enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ELISA kit of Oxidative stress biomarker (Allantoin) will be used for checking level of Allantoin in stored samples within a week. Mothers of both the KMC and control groups will be given the Mother-infant bonding scale (MIBS) self-rating instrument on 3rd Day postpartum before and after KMC and incubator care for bonding assessment.

| Kangaroo Mother Care | Behavioral | KMC is a care system for LBW and preterm infants at birth, based on skin-to-skin contact between the infant and the mother and exclusive breast feeding. The mother carries her Preterm infant for at least one hour per day. Urine collected before and after skin-to-skin contact. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| biomarker of Oxidative Stress (Allantoin) in urine sample of premature infants | Biomarker of oxidative stress (Allantoin) in urine samples of premature infants by ELISA Testing before and after one hour session of KMC by ELIZA testing | OnThird day of life before and after one hour of KMC or Conventional care |
| Mother- Infant Bonding | by Using Mother Infant bonding self rating scale (MIBS) of eight points descriptors bonding between mother and her infant will be measured. Total scores range from 0 to 24. A high score indicates worst mother to infant bonding. | OnThird day of life before and after one hour of KMC or Conventional care |
