What is Kangaroo Care
Kangaroo Care (KC) is an
intervention for premature and low-birth weight infants and their
families. This technique comprises prolonged skin-to-skin contact
between the parents and the new-born baby. It empowers parents,
allowing them to play a significant role in the care and survival of their baby
within the Neonatal Intensive Care setting.
KC is an effective way to
meet the baby’s need of warmth, breastfeeding, stimulation, and
safety.
