Kangaroo Mother Care (Skin-to-Skin Care)
About the Procedure
Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) involves direct skin-to-skin contact between a newborn and parent, promoting warmth, bonding, and physiological stability. Especially beneficial for premature and low birth weight infants, KMC supports temperature regulation, improves breastfeeding success, enhances weight gain, and strengthens emotional connection. This simple yet powerful method complements medical treatment and encourages parental involvement in neonatal care.
