Summary
This study tested a program to help mothers of low birth weight babies in Ghana practice kangaroo care—skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding, and follow-up—which is proven to save lives. 328 mothers received either standard care or extra support from trained peers and a box with warm items like a hat and a temperature monitor. The goal was to see if this support increased breastfeeding and skin-to-skin time at home, helping more babies survive.
