Kangaroo care originated in Bogota, Colombia in the 1970s as a way to improve outcomes for preterm infants born in hospitals lacking modern medical equipment and supplies. It involves skin-to-skin contact between a parent and infant. Kangaroo care has been shown to improve infant outcomes such as temperature regulation, breastfeeding rates, and bonding between parents and infants. It also reduces infant pain responses and improves sleep patterns which are important for brain development. Kangaroo care is now practiced worldwide and research continues to demonstrate its benefits.
