Summary
This study tested whether teaching pregnant women about kangaroo care (skin-to-skin contact) in the third trimester improves mother-infant bonding and comfort for both mother and newborn. Forty first-time mothers between 35-38 weeks of pregnancy were given education on kangaroo care. Researchers then measured bonding and comfort levels after birth and again at 4 weeks. The goal is to encourage more widespread use of this simple, safe practice.
