Summary

Establishing a strong bond between mother and infant is crucial for fostering healthy relationships in the future. This research sought to investigate the correlation between mother-to-infant bonding and sensory processing, as well as the connection between prematurity and sensory processing in 12-month-old infants.

Detailed description

At the age of four months, mothers will utilize the Mother-Infant Attachment Scale (MIBS) to evaluate the bonding between themselves and their infants. Subsequently, at 12 months old, the sensory processing abilities of the infants will be assessed using the Test of Sensory Functions in Infants (TSFI). The study will encompass both preterm and term-born children.
