If the chosen card is A, the infant will be placed under the fetal position and if it is B, the infant will be placed under the supine position. N/A Premature infants. Intervention 1: The intervention group: In the intervention group (fetal position), the infants will be moved to a fetal position by a well-trained nurse. In this group, a nest will be placed around the infant and their hands will have flexibility in a way that the arms and legs of the curved baby are placed in the middle of the line and the hands are placed in front of their face so that the infant can put his hands to his mouth. The sleep-wake cycle will be assessed for twenty minutes using the method of Als. Intervention 2: The control group: After three hours since the intervention, the infants will be moved to a supine position by a well-trained nurse. In this group, they will be put loosely and with their hands free sleeping in the incubator. Infants’ sleep-wake cycle under the investigation will be observed for 20 minutes using the method of Als.
