An early discharge programme based on family-centred care has been implemented and integrated into our neonatal intensive care unit that could be implemented by other hospitals.

Perception of control may be an essential aspect of body image and the key to understanding these young women's feelings of empowerment and quality of life through body control postbariatric surgery. Future studies should focus on how body control is an essential aspect of body image, which may contribute to long-term weight loss maintenance and improve quality of life.

The study reinforces the need for further research, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative methods, into age and ethnicity aspects of FCC group interventions. There is also a need to compare the new parents' perceived level of stress and support from the FCC group intervention in relation to participating and nonparticipating extended families.

BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANCELactation often plays a dominant role in how motherhood is experienced during the early postnatal period. 1 However, for mothers of premature infants (about 10% of infants worldwide), lactation and breastfeeding can be extremely challenging. 2,3 Premature infants are fragile due to their early birth (less than 37 weeks of gestational age), and they often require treatment and care at a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). 4 A review from 2015 revealed that stable premature infants exposed to the breast as early as 27 to 28 weeks postconceptional age (PCA) maintain their physiological status. Furthermore, some infants exposed to the breast before 30 weeks PCA were exclusively breastfeed at 32 weeks PCA. 5 According to the World Health Organization, exclusive breastfeeding is the optimal nutrition for all infants during their first 6 months due to its nutritional, gastrointestinal, immunological, developmental, and psychological benefits. 6 Early breastfeeding (before 32 weeks PCA) has also been found to be less stressful to the premature infant than bottle-feeding. 7,8 Nevertheless, research has revealed a lower incidence and a shorter duration of
