Premature birth constitutes a big percentage of infant deaths worldwide.
One-fifth of the 15 million pre-term babies worldwide are born in India.
One of the best methods available for providing care to pre-term babies is skin-to-skin care, aka the Kangaroo Care.
Kangaroo Care regulates the heart rate of your infant, reduces any discomfort your child may have during certain procedures and makes sure your baby's breathing is more regular.
It also helps establish a bond with your child
Another crucial thing it does is to establish a nursing relationship and produce more milk which helps the child to gain healthy weight as most premature children are underweight.
