Kangaroo Care
We have had a few centers inquire about evidence supporting that kangaroo care, especially for premature infants, is safe. The concern has been that the stress of kangaroo care will lead to destabilization of clinical condition. This epub - Short Spell Kangaroo Mother Care and Its Differential Physiological Influence in Subgroups of Preterm Babies - provides further support that kangaroo care is not only safe but can be clinically stabilizing.
Learning Session Three
Human Milk Initiative - NCCC Track Learning Session Three is scheduled for Tuesday, November 8th, 2011 at the McKimmon Center in Raleigh NC. Up to 6 team members - all three primary team members (physician champion, nurse champion, senior hospital administrator) are encouraged to attend. Lunch and materials will be provided at no cost.
