What is Kangaroo care?

My first baby was born perfectly healthy, and at full term, back in 1966. I held her for a few moments, then they took her away and insisted that I needed to rest (it was an easy vaginal delivery). I kept asking for her, but they kept telling me to rest. They didn’t bring her back to me for nearly 12 hours, by which time I was practically hysterical. Unforgivable.

Only human beings would think this was remarkable rather than entirely natural.

Player Teresa611, definitely not restful. Hope you had a loving relationship with baby after that. x

My oldest son thrived on Kangaroo care. He wouldn't fall asleep unless he had skin to skin contact with me of his mom lol

Pip, I knew a lady who’d given birth to her first baby in China at a time when they took newborns to wet nurses while the mother recuperated. When she gave birth to her second baby in America she kept waving the nurse away until the nurse firmly informed her that she was responsible for feeding her own baby!

Player Teresa611, that's heartbreaking! I hope things were better soon after that rough start 💕

Quá hay

have you wver seen kangaroo. I have never seen.

Bobnegus , with respect, no one said it was prevalent in Australia. Sounds like an excellent idea to me.

I'm Australian this is not a thing.
