[ID] 793 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen Public Health Worker [Comment] Encourage health professionals to educate women on the benefits of Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC). My daughter came 1 month early and was jandiced. I practived kangaroo care and breasfed often in those early days. Her condition improved and we were both discharged. I practiced KMC because I knew it was the right thing to do. The doctors and nurses (save the lactation consultant!) NEVER instructed me that I could do this and all I could think of was what if I didn't already know? Why wouldn't they tell all women they can do this, ESPECIALLY the ones in my situation. We rely too heavily on NICU's and incubators, when those hi-tech solutions DO NOT promote mother/infant bonding and breastfeeding! [Topic]
