(2026), who demonstrate that proportional paternal involvement in Kangaroo Care (KC) significantly strengthens paternal self-efficacy among fathers of preterm infants. While self-efficacy is often conceptualized as a cognitive belief in one's capability, a growing body of evidence highlights the essential role of affective processes in shaping these beliefs. The emotional turbulence experienced by fathers in the NICU—fear, uncertainty, and hesitation—illustrates how affective states influence emerging confidence long before cognitive evaluation occurs. KC functions as an affective corrective experience in which skin-to-skin contact reduces stress, enhances emotional attunement, and gradually transforms anxiety into confidence. This mechanism resonates with Suryomentaram's concept of <em>kramadangsa</em>, which describes how accumulated emotional impressions shape a person's inner stance and sense of capability. From this perspective, each KC session becomes an affective imprint that reorganizes the father's emotional responses, helping maintain high paternal self-efficacy after discharge. Integrating these affective and cultural insights into neonatal nursing practice may improve emotional support for fathers and strengthen family-centered care in the NICU.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":35482,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neonatal Nursing","volume":"32 1","pages":"Article 101764"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145736763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conventional management strategy frequently involves surgical extraction, an invasive procedure that can cause considerable trauma, pain, and physiological stress to the newborn, as well as anxiety for the parents. This letter advocates for a paradigm shift towards a conservative, atraumatic, and highly effective management technique. We propose the use of a simple proximal finishing strip, commonly used in restorative dentistry, to smoothen the sharp incisal edges of symptomatic natal teeth. This minimally invasive procedure can be performed swiftly without anaesthesia, immediately alleviating nipple trauma for the nursing mother and preventing lingual ulceration (Riga-Fede disease) in the infant. By adopting this technique, neonatal healthcare providers, in collaboration with pediatric dentists, can preserve the primary dentition, avoid the risks associated with surgery, and, most importantly, protect and promote the vital mother-infant breastfeeding relationship. This letter details the technique and calls for its consideration as a first-line intervention for non-mobile, symptomatic natal teeth.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":35482,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neonatal Nursing","volume":"32 1","pages":"Article 101763"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145789941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
