Kangaroo Mother Care was initiated in Bogota, Colombia after a dying
newborn premature baby was handed to her mother as a last resort. The
mother placed the baby skin to skin on her chest to say her last
goodbyes and the little one thrived and survived. Doctors observed the
‘accidental’ recovery and decided to embark on groundbreaking studies of
premature infants in a critical condition when they were placed skin
to skin on their mothers’ chests. The results were astounding and what
began as a tentative experiment has become a worldwide success in terms
of premature and neonatal infant care.
