May was EXTRA snuggly in our NICU and Mother-Baby Unit as we celebrated our two-week Kangaroo-care-a-thon! Kangaroo care is a special method of holding a baby skin-to-skin, similar to how kangaroos hold their young in a pouch!
For moms, it promotes bonding, boosts breast milk production, reduces anxiety, and enhances their ability to understand their baby's cues. Dads also experience bonding benefits, stress relief, and a sense of protectiveness.
In total, our facilities logged over thousands of minutes of Skin-to-Skin during the two-week celebration!
