The Effect of Kangaroo Care Education on Mother-Infant Bonding, Maternal and Neonatal Comfort

The mother should wear a comfortable outfit that can be easily opened at the front, and attention should be given to the mother's privacy. The infant should be covered with a light blanket. While applying kangaroo care, the baby may be completely naked, or the baby may wear items such as a hat, diaper, and socks. The kangaroo care position involves placing the baby upright between the mother's breasts. The newborn's abdomen should be positioned at the level of the mother's epigastric region. While performing kangaroo care, the mother should ensure that the baby's face is visible and that the baby's head is not in extreme extension or excessive flexion. During the procedure, care should be taken to ensure that the baby can breathe comfortably while on the mother's chest. The pregnant women will be instructed to practice kangaroo care intermittently for 30 minutes.
