Something so simple – yet so effective in saving lives
KMC is all about skin-to-skin contact, exclusive breast, or breast milk feeding – and of course medical assessment.
Studies of KMC report increased survival, decreased infection, improved nutrition and growth and possible improved development. Mothers have less postpartum depression and increased confidence in caring for their babies. Recently the World Health Organization has recommended KMC be started at birth even if small babies require other assistance in care.
