Question by ?Kayleigh: Does anyone know about, or has anyone participated in “Kangaroo Care” (Skin-to-Skin Contact) with infants?
Hi!
I am doing a research paper for my college class. Im researching the benifits of Kangaroo care and the benifits of incubator care for preterm infants. Of course the negative as well. Has anyone done this with thier baby (preemie or full term baby)? What were the benefits? Was there any negative part of your experience? How is it done? Are there any precautions that have to be taken? Feel free to answer any one of my questions or add on. You do not need to answer them all. If you havent done skin-to-skin contact with your baby, but you still know about it. Feel free to also add in.
Any help is greatly appriciated!!
If you would include your name, so i could use your information or quote you in my paper that would be extremly appreciated as well!
Thanks everyone!
