What is Benefits of Kangaroo Care for Preemies about?

The document discusses the benefits of "kangaroo care" (KC), where preterm infants have skin-to-skin contact with their mothers. KC improves brain development and promotes growth. It reduces stress and helps preemies synchronize functions with their mothers. Scandinavian countries widely practice 24/7 KC and preemies leave the hospital earlier than in the US. KC also improves cognitive and motor development long-term. Hospitals should encourage KC and make units more family-friendly.
