Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of applying touch nursing on the weaning time of baby′s breast milk and physical growth.Methods A total of 66 babies who were admiteed to our hospital from April 2017 to January 2019 were selected as the research objects.By random number table method, they were divided into control group (n=33) and observation group (n=33).The babies in the control group received daily nursing, and in the observation group, they were provided with touch nursing.The Gatzel score, physical development indicators (head circumference, length, and weight), daily sleep time, and weaning time from breast milk after 8 months intervention in the two groups were compared.Results The baby′s gross motor score, fine movement score, adaptive ability score, language score, and social behavior score in the observation were higher than those in the control group, with statistical differences (P<0.05).The head circumference was longer than that of the control group, length was higher than that of the control group, and weight was greater than that of the control group, with statistical differences (P<0.05).The daily sleep time and weaning time in the observation group were both longer than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion The touch nursing has a positive effect on the weaning time and physical growth in babies.It can improve the baby′s Gatsel score, promote the development, and extend the daily sleep time and weaning time.
