kangaroo mother care (KMC)

Kangaroo mother care is a simple care that aims to protect the health and well-being of premature babies, where skin-to-skin contact is achieved by placing the premature baby in an upright position, face down, between the parent's breasts, wearing only a diaper and a cap. Before the experimental group infant was given to the mother, his/her hat was put on, and clothes were removed. The infant was placed in an upright position (approximately 60°) between the mother's two breasts. To enable the infant to breathe, his/her head was positioned to the right or left with ear touching the mother's chest, arms and legs were flexed, and hip was abducted. The mother supported the infant's neck and back with one hand and the hips with the other. The infant's back was covered with a cotton blanket. An noninvasive pulse Co-oximetry was attached to the right wrist of the infant to evaluate heart rate, oxygen saturation, and perfusion index.
