KANGAROO WRAP for newborn (Laerdal)
Definition
Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is an evidence-based approach recommended by the World Health Organization to reduce mortality and morbidity in low-birth-weight (LBW) and preterm infants.
The baby is held in continuous skin to skin contact as close to 24 hours a day as possible with his mother, father, or substitute caregiver. This is accomplished by placing the baby in the kangaroo position, a strictly upright position.
Specifications
Kangaroo wrap made of washable fabric:
- safe: baby is secure and is kept in correct position. Mothers do not need to cover themselves with lot of layers of the wrap for security which over heats them.
- comfortable: knot is in the front which is convenient for lying down
- wide straps on the shoulders: allows movement and gives less fatigue for back and shoulders
- easy to use: no need of an assistant, facilitates frequent removal for breastfeeding
- gender neutral: look very acceptable to wear for fathers as well
