It is Kangaroo Mother Care Day!
Kangaroo mother care refers to the practice of providing continuous Skin-to-Skin contact between mother and baby, exclusive breastmilk feeding, and early discharge from hospital.
KMC has been shown to decrease mortality and morbidity in preterm and low birthweight infants by providing protection from infection; regulating temperature, breathing, and brain activity; and encouraging mother-baby bonding.
