Parental involvement is crucial for the emotional well-being of both the infant and the parents. Ways to involve parents include:
- Education: Teaching parents about the signs of discomfort and ways to alleviate it. - Participation: Encouraging parents to partake in skin-to-skin contact, feeding, and comforting activities. - Support: Providing emotional support and counseling to help parents cope with the stress of having a neonate with health issues.
