'Kangaroo mother care' - how mothers can help premature babies to health with a simple cuddle
Cuddling up against a mother's bare skin can help tiny premature babies recover more quickly from the pain of being stuck with needles and other procedures, Canadian researchers have found. Babies held tightly against their mother's skin - in a position dubbed "kangaroo mother care" - squirmed and grimaced less than babies swaddled in blankets, the researchers say. "Skin-to-skin contact by the mother, referred to as kangaroo mother care, has been shown to be efficacious in reducing pain in three previous studies," said co-author Celeste Johnston of Montreal's McGill University School of Nursing in an article published yesterday in the journal BioMed Central Pediatrics. But those studies involved older babies. Her team tested 61 premature babies born between 28 and 31 weeks.
