Kangaroo Mother Care

Kangaroo mother care (KMC) has been studied now for over thirty years. KMC involves skin to skin contact between the mother and the newborn, specifically having the baby positioned on mom’s chest in an upright position. The concept originates from the Australian marsupial (kangaroo) which carries its baby (Joey) in a pouch for approximately four months after birth. The interaction between mom and baby means that baby relies on mom’s warmth, love and nutrition. Many studies have shown that KMC is an invaluable therapy for both newborn baby and the new mom.

Together with PreemieNatalie Preterm Simulator, and MamaBreast Breastfeeding Simulator, CarePlus is excellent to use in the Essential Care for Every Baby training as well as in other training programs focusing on premature care and essential newborn care.
