Skin-to-Skin Care May Save Newborn Lives
 For premature and low-birth-weight infants, one of the most powerful lifesaving interventions may also be one of the simplest: early skin-to-skin contact with a parent. A new review published in the World Journal of Pediatrics suggests that immediate kangaroo mother care (iKMC), started as soon as possible after birth and ideally within the first 24 hours, can significantly improve survival and health outcomes for vulnerable newborns. Compared with delayed kangaroo mother care (KMC), iKMC was associated with lower 28-day neonatal mortality, reduced hypothermia, fewer suspected sepsis cases, improved exclusive breastfeeding, and better weight-related growth outcomes. The findings add to growing evidence that close physical contact is not merely comforting, but can function as a critical component of neonatal care.
