Abstract

 This study aims to determine the effectiveness of “Nesting” among the low birth weight (LBW) babies in selected hospitals of Coimbatore. A Quasi experimental study was conducted for 40 LBW babies by using purposive sampling technique. The babies were further divided into two groups with 20 babies in experimental group and 20 babies in control group. Pre test, Post test control group design was used in which nesting was provided to the experimental group babies for 2 hours in morning and 2 hours in evening for three consecutive days. The Bio – Physiological parameters and Sucking

Response were assessed before nesting (Pre test) and after administration of nesting in the evening of second day (Post test I) and third day (Post test II) using Digital Thermometer, Pulse Oximeter and Manual Count of respiration and modified early feeding skills assessment scale respectively. The LBW babies of experimental group exhibits comparatively stable Physiological Parameters and also significant improvement in sucking response after administration of nesting.
