Intervention 1: Intervention group: Mothers of the intervention group will also be selected through a similar process that will be implemented for the control group, and the Farnam software will be provided to them, and the method of using the software will be individually instructed to them. Intervention 2: Control group: Mothers in the control group will receive routine hospital training. Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: Some data, such as variables in demographic characteristics, can be shared. When: Access begins 6 months after results are published.
