Abstract Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is a skin to skin care technique between mother and baby that is carried out as a substitute for an incubator to warm the baby, bring mother and baby closer psychologically, stabilize heart rate, increase baby's stimulus for breastfeeding and can increase low birth weight (LBW).The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of kangaroo mother care on increasing the body temperature of newborns in the obstetrics ward of the Lamaddukelleng Hospital.

Abstract:

The initiation of bonding attachment between mother and baby in Low Birth Weight (LBW) Babies is delayed, this is due to the separation between mother and LBW baby during incubator care. Therefore, treatment is needed as an alternative to dealing with LBW problems, one of alternativfe is the Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) method. The KMC method improves the emotional relationship between mother and baby (bounding attachment), prevents hypothermia, stabilizes body temperature, heart rate and breathing rate of the baby, increases growth and body weight, reduces stress on the baby and mother and incr

Introduction: World Health Organization has recommended kangaroo mother care for every infant weighing less than 2,000gs who is stable. The Kangaroo mother care (KMC) has been established for last few decades because there are insufficient resources in developing countries to care for infants with low birth weights (LBW). Methodology: It is a non-controlled retrospective observational cohort. Results: If we compare the means of the weights and lengths at birth, one month and three months there is statistically significant improvement in both groups. The growth at three months is better in KMC

Abstract:

Premature birth is defined as the birth of a baby before 37 weeks gestation. Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is a care technique, particularly beneficial for premature infants, that emphasizes skin-to-skin contact between the mother and her baby, but some beliefs may restrict physical contact with newborns or dictate other types of care that do not involve close, continuous contact. Research shows that KMC significantly reduce the number of neonatal deaths, preventing hypothermia, reducing the occurrence of infections, increasing baby growth and development, increasing breastfeeding and bonding bet

It is well documented that the stress of separation of mother and baby can lead to short-term physiological instability as well as neurological, sociological or psychological consequences that may last a lifetime. Objective: The goal was to estimate the effect of kangaroo mother care (KMC) on physiological and biochemical parameters of preterm infant stress and maternal stress in neonatal intensive care. Methods: The investigation involved 112 preterm infants. Two groups were compared according to the mean duration of KMC during 12 days of study: the KMC group (mean duration more than 90 min d

Abstract:

Mothers and newborns have a natural physiological requirement to be together immediately after birth. A newborn has a keen sense of smell and will instinctively seek out the mother’s nipple and begin breastfeeding if placed skin-to-skin with her. This practice is known as Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC). It was first suggested in 1978 and has been recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a means to ensure successful breastfeeding. It is well documented that KMC is associated with positive breastfeeding outcomes, particularly in cases where breastfeeding is exclusive and, on average, co

ABSTRACT Background: Continuation of kangaroo mother care (KMC) at home is vital for improved infant survival and development. Hence, it is essential to understand potential enablers and barriers to home KMC provision. Methodology: This observational study was conducted in rural Gujarat. KMC was initiated for all low-birth-weight (LBW) neonates during the hospital stay and were advised to continue home KMC on discharge. The mothers of these LBW neonates were interviewed using a structured questionnaire during follow-up visits or via telephone. Results: A total of 100 mothers were interviewed,

Abstract:

In recent years, Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) has emerged as a vital and effective intervention for promoting the health and well-being of preterm infants. This skin-to-skin contact between the mother and her newborn, especially in the early days after birth, offers a myriad of benefits, ranging from improved thermoregulation and weight gain to enhanced bonding and emotional connection. However, the successful implementation of KMC hinges upon the awareness, attitudes, and compliance of parents and healthcare providers. Understanding the factors influencing these aspects is crucial for the devel

Each year approximately 20 million low birthweight babies are born globally. Prematurity is a leading cause of neonatal mortality in developing countries and results in 60%–80% of neonatal deaths. Neonatal mortality is the major contributor to under-5 mortality. According to Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey 2017–2018, neonatal mortality in Pakistan is 42 per 1000 live births and under-5 mortality is 74 per 1000 live births. One out of every 22 newborns dies in Pakistan, which is an alarming figure. Majority of these deaths are preventable. They can be prevented by well-trained midwives,
