A Super Success Story!

All 3 had severe respiratory distress, extreme prematurity & extremely low birth weight which required mechanical ventilation, noninvasive ventilation & a multidisciplinary approach by the NICU team for almost 2 months.

Team Orange managed these 3 critical newborns is not “THE CATCH” here!

All 3 mothers’ involvement in KMC (Kangaroo Mother Care) was the crucial part for babies’ faster & complete physical and neurodevelopmental growth after the stormy NICU course of the initial few weeks.

So, Let’s have some basic knowledge of KMC.

(As Knowledge would lead to Attitude and Attitude would lead to Practice – KAP)

Kangaroo Mother care or KMC:

1. A team of pediatricians started KMC in Bogota, Colombia in 1978.
2. Kangaroo care is a method of holding a baby that involves skin-to-skin contact. It’s often used with premature infants while they are still in the hospital

What are the benefits of kangaroo care?

1. – There are many benefits of kangaroo care. It’s not only good for both premature and full-term babies but also the parents. Both women and men can practice skin-to-skin bonding with the baby.

Key benefits of kangaroo care to your baby include:

1. Stabilising your baby’s heart rate
2. Improving your baby’s breathing pattern and making the breathing more regular.
3. Improving oxygen saturation levels
4. Gaining in sleep time.
5. Experiencing more rapid weight gain.
6. Decreasing crying.
7. Having an earlier hospital discharge.

The benefits of kangaroo care for parents can include:

1. Improving bonding with your baby and the feeling of closeness.
2. Increasing your breast milk supply.
3. Increasing your confidence in the ability to care for your new baby.
4. Increasing your sense of control.

All these 3 mothers participated in KMC continuously for more than 1 month So here are they!

3 musketeers are ready to fly home with their latest weight of,

1. Baby 1: 1.9 kg
2. Baby 2: 1.8 kg
3. Baby 3: 1.85 kg

We can even offer TRANSPORT KMC to premature newborns while transferring in ICU on wheels.

We at Orange, believe in delivering the care along with sharing the knowledge in society which can lead to change in our Attitude and at last the change in Practice, which in turn will be helpful for all our tiny ones.

We are here for all little ones
