Abstract in brief

  • The text discusses Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC), which involves skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding, and early discharge, as an alternative to conventional care for low birthweight infants, and evaluates its effectiveness and safety through systematic review of multiple studies.
  • The researchers searched various medical databases and sources up to June 2016, identifying 21 randomized controlled trials involving over 3000 infants that compare KMC with traditional neonatal care or different timings of KMC application.
  • The findings focus on the impact of KMC, both intermittent and continuous, on infant health outcomes after stabilization, emphasizing the importance of timing and method in its application.]

@WHO currently recommends initiation of short, intermittent sessions of KMC when the infant’s condition begins to stabilize & continuous KMC when the infant’s condition has stabilized esp in a LMIC setting. #NeoEBM See latest @CochraneNeonate review: https://t.co/MaSmfL6b45
