Study Summary

A majority of mothers experience high stress levels and associated symptoms of anxiety, depressive symptoms, and sleep disruption during the NICU hospitalization and continuing after hospital discharge. Given preterm infant feeding is one of the most stressful things the new mother will face and given the harmful nature of stress on maternal and infant health, it is important an intervention focuses on both of these concerns: infant feeding and maternal stress. Therefore, the purpose of this research study is two-fold. First, the investigators will examine how practical and acceptable it is for mothers of preterm infants to participate in Stress And FEeding (SAFE) intervention and collect biological stress measures from mothers and their preterm infant's saliva (spit). The intervention is designed to reduce stress and improve maternal feeding interaction. The second purpose of this study is to examine changes before and after using the intervention on mother and infant outcomes over 16-weeks.
