Cuddle power: can kangaroo care boost breast milk quality?

This study looks at how kangaroo care (holding your baby skin-to-skin) changes the nutrients and amount of breast milk in parents whose babies are in the NICU and can't breastfeed directly. About 25 parents will provide milk samples after holding their baby and after no contact, so researchers can compare the calories, fat, protein, and volume. The goal is to understand if this simple bonding practice improves milk for vulnerable infants.
