First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether starting kangaroo mother care (skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding support) within the first 24 hours helps healthy preterm babies born weighing less than 2000 grams. 100 infants were randomly assigned to early kangaroo care or standard care. The researchers tracked deaths, hospital stay length, and breastfeeding rates to see if early contact improves outcomes.
