... is a video release of Dr Nils Bergman's highly popular talks, summarised and presented in a way that every expecting mother can enjoy.
(Running time: 26 minutes)
Kangaroo Mother Care is for all newborn babies, but especially prematures. This video summarises research and evidence to prove that the newborn thrives best in its original rightful place - on its mother's chest. A practical method of doing Kangaroo Mother Care is described.
SKIN-TO-SKIN CONTACT - the naked baby is placed against the mother's skin, where the temperature is perfectly controlled all the time. A mother's temperature will naturally rise 2 degrees Celcius to warm a cold baby!! Breathing is markedly improved. See selection of photographs from this video !!
BREASTFEEDING is an essential and natural part of Kangaroo Mother Care; breast milk is the only logical food! A few of its amazing effects are explained.
NEVER SEPARATE MOTHER AND CHILD!! The stress of separation causes hormones to be released which interfere with digestion and all other normal functions of the baby's body. Kangaroo Mother Care enables the baby to relax, and improves the heart rate and the temperature.
MOTHER'S LOVE is what the baby needs most. Doing Kangaroo Mother Care also empowers the mother, who knows instinctively that she is doing the right thing - giving her baby superb nursing care the natural way.
This video is a must for all prospective mothers and fathers, and their health care professionals. The care of low birth weight babies should be done under supervision of a health professional.
