- Abstract
Immediate Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC), an intervention following childbirth whereby the newborn is placed skin-to-skin (STS) on mother's chest to promote thermal regulation, breastfeeding and maternal-newborn bonding, is being taught in very low-income countries to improve newborn health and survival. Existing data are reviewed to document the association between community-based KMC (CKMC) implementation and its potential benefits.
