Kangaroo Mother Care Philippines

Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is a simple, natural way to care for newborn babies especially those born too small or too soon. It has been proven to be one of the most effective ways to help fragile babies grow strong and healthy. It is very helpful for premature and low birth weight infants who need extra support.

KMC involves holding your baby skin-to-skin on your chest, like a mother kangaroo does with her joey. This direct contact helps keep your baby warm, calm, and close to your heartbeat.

KMC can be done by mothers, fathers, or other caregivers, and it doesn’t need special equipment—just love, time, and closeness.
