Objective This article mainly analyzes the effects of kangaroo nursing on breast feeding and behavioral status in term newborns. Methods The study enrolled samples were selected from the full-term newborns delivered in our hospital in the past five years, and 300 of them were screened. They were divided into two groups, namely, the study group and the control group, according to the random number table. The neurobehavioral state, sleep quality, sleep time, breast-feeding success rate and nursing satisfaction data of the full-term newborns in the two groups were analyzed retrospectively. Results In the study group that implemented kangaroo nursing intervention, the scores of neonatal neurobehavioral state in 3 days and 28 days were better than that in the other group. The data of sleep time (3 days and 28 days) and sleep quality (3 days and 28 days) were higher than that in the other group. The data of breast-feeding success rate and nursing satisfaction were better than that in the other group, which showed that P<0.05 showed statistical significance. Conclusion Kangaroo nursing is beneficial to promote neurobehavioral development, improve the success rate of breastfeeding and neonatal sleep quality, and reflect the quality of nursing care. It is recommended to popularize this nursing measure widely.
