First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether doing kangaroo care (skin-to-skin contact) right in the operating room after a C-section helps mothers feel more satisfied and have less pain. 158 mothers with a single, full-term baby took part. Researchers measured satisfaction, pain levels, and baby health. The goal was to see if this simple bonding practice improves the birth experience.
