The infants were divided into two groups on the basis of the mothers' visiting patterns during the postnatal hospitalization. Group 1 comprised 21 mothers whose average visiting rate was 4.10 (SD 1.31), and group 2 consisted of 14 mothers with a mean visiting rate of 1.71 (SD 1.31).Maternal behavior was assessed with two measures, i.e., a mothers' self-report questionnaire and an evaluation of the mother's behavior based on observations of the hospital nurses and other medical staff.
