Photo Gallery: Why the title "Kangaroo Mother Care"?

KMC Mother kangaroo is a mammal (just like us), and feeds its baby milk like we do (or like we should!) from a nipple inside its pouch.

The pouch covers the baby with skin, and this not only protects the very immature baby, but also provides it with a total environment which is essential for development.

This includes warmth, food, comfort, stimulation, protection.

The baby is CARRIED for all this time, without interruption !
