World Health Organization Video: Maternal health: Ensuring kangaroo mother care for every small or preterm baby
For babies born early or small, kangaroo mother care (KMC) is a proven, lifesaving technique that improves survival, reduces infections and hypothermia, and improves feeding and growth.
For all preterm or low birthweight babies, WHO recommends that KMC should start immediately after birth- even in intensive care.
Here’s how we can ensure every small or preterm baby gets the skin-to-skin contact they need, from the moment they’re born.
