Abstract
Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is a low-cost, evidence-based intervention with proven benefits to both infants and their families. It refers to holding the infant with the infant's chest skin against the caregiver's chest skin in an upright positionc[2]. Based on a report from the World Health Organizationc[3], KMC benefits are evidenced by a 32% reduction in neonatal mortality. It has been adopted as a standard of care for infants with low birth weights worldwide, especially in resource-constrained environments. Continuous monitoring of KMC practices is clinically important. In particular, the duration of KMC sessions and infant vital signs during KMC hold significant clinical values.
