Kangaroo care is a gentle practice that helps new parents connect with their babies. When a newborn is placed on the chest of the mother right after birth, it fosters a physical and emotional bond that can last a lifetime.
At KD Blossom, Ahmedabad, a leading healthcare facility for women and children, our top-rated team of gynaecologists and skilled doctors prioritises skin-to-skin contact. We also incorporate the latest technological advancements in newborn care to ensure the best experience for mothers and their babies.
Skin-to-skin contact offers numerous health and developmental benefits for the baby and the parents.
Regulates Body Temperature: Newborns often struggle to regulate their body temperature. Cuddling with their mother helps stabilize their temperature, reducing the risk of hypothermia.
Promotes healthy heart rate and breathing: Close contact helps maintain the physiological balance and regulate their heart rate and breathing rhythms.
Enhances breastfeeding success: Babies placed skin-to-skin with their mothers are more likely to instinctively seek out the nipple for breastfeeding, which promotes successful early feeding.
Our dedicated team at KD Blossom is committed to helping mothers and newborns enjoy these crucial early benefits in a loving and nurturing environment.
The emotional benefits for both the baby and the parents are invaluable. Physical touch triggers the release of hormones that strengthen their bond, fostering a deep and healthy connection. When nurtured, this affection builds a foundation for lifelong trust and emotional security.
KD Blossom is one of the best women’s hospitals in Ahmedabad, providing a supportive atmosphere for new moms and dads to learn how to care for their newborns effectively.
