KANGAROO MOTHER CARE
This method uses the mother’s skin and presence to stabilize the baby. In a careful clinical study by Dr Bergman, all the premature babies starting skin-to-skin contact from birth stabilized within 6 hours. Only half the premature babies placed in incubators stabilized. As the baby feels SAFE on mum with familiar heart beat, voice, smell, her body, heart rate, breathing, and temperature etc, stabilize much faster, and emotionally and socially baby bonds with mother much earlier. The breastfeeding starts almost automatically.
