Jumpstart Kangaroo Care During COVID-19

Undeniably, parents are irreplaceable and important members of the healthcare team.

We provide, among other things, love, nutrition, warmth, and protection, especially during kangaroo care.

Kangaroo Care was significantly reduced during COVID-19 and it is time to bring it back better than before!

Evidence supports zero separation. Know the evidence about Kangaroo Care during COVID-19, the latest recommendations at birth, post partum, and NICU/PICU
