Analysis of 40 h of videotaped caregiving to four male infants was conducted using ethology. All infants were full term and had major chest surgery 12 h previously. All incidents of caregiver-infant interaction were examined, and the verbal and tactile comforting behavior of the caregiver was coded for duration, context, infant cue and infant state prior and following the interaction. A total of 191 comforting incidents occurred during the study. Stroking was the most common form of touch used. Most of the comforting (60%) was given in the context of caregiving; sleeping infants were touched often (38%); 25.3% of the touches were given to acutely distressed infants, and wide awake infants relatively little. Most of the infants showed no change in infant state after the relatively brief comforting incidents, but in 15.7% of the incidents the infants 'settled' after comforting. The authors conclude that this is a relatively strong effect considering the short duration of the comforting actions.
