Jas - what's up with kangaroo care research?

I don't what, if anything, you know about KC, but it's a method of holding newborns skin-to-skin, primarily to help thermoregulate, increase weight gain, and promote bonding, but it actually does even more. For mothers, it increases lactation and decreases both postpartum depression and eclampsia. It's also been shown to have positive long-term effects on parenting behaviours for mothers, and fathers if they share in the care. By placing the infant on a chest (ideally the biological mother's, I suspect for the reason that the baby has been relying on the mother's heartbeat and breathing throughout gestation), his or her heartbeat and breathing stabilize and increase or decrease as needed. From a thermoregulatory aspect, the caregiver acts as a human incubator, and with a mother's breasts significantly changing temperature in accordance with the baby's needs. Mothers are even able to provide shared kangaroo care to twins, placing one child on each breast and having their breasts heat independently, increasing or decreasing as necessary for the nearest infant. KC has also been shown to decrease a stress-related chemical that I can't remember the name of, indicating that children are experiencing less stress when held this way than when placed in an incubator, and it increases both oxygen saturation and weight gain.

It's immensely fascinating stuff
