Kangaroo Care

Kangaroo care is skin-to-skin contact between mothers or fathers and their infants.  The University of Michigan NICU put together this informative article about Kangaroo Care of infants.  http://www.med.umich.edu/nicu/pdf/C.3KangarooCare.pdf
The paper is centered on the medical research surrounding this life saving parenting technique.


Some interesting facts about Kangaroo Care:

• -An unexpected result of the study was that physicians commented that BKC seemed to distract mothers from discomfort during perineal repair, although the repairs preceded actual breastfeeding. Decreased maternal discomfort is possible because KC has been shown to comfort mothers
• -The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommendation is  "healthy infants should be placed and remain in direct skin-to-skin contact with their mothers immediately after delivery until the first feeding is accomplished"
• Researchers found that when moms held their baby, the baby had lower a lower score on the Premature Infant Pain Profile 90 seconds after a heel stick. When babies were left in their incubators for their heel stick, they experienced pain for much longer, and had a more difficult time recovering.

And sooo much more!!
