Kangaroo Cuddles is a method where our premmie babies can snuggle up to us and keep warm. It not only gives us as parents a chance to hold and bond with our babies but research has shown that babies will benefit too. It will help them feed for longer, cry less, sleep more and helps speed up the time for when a baby can come home (medical conditions allowing). It has also be shown to improve heart rates, breathing rates and weight gain. It will also help a mother produce more milk.

Prepare yourself for your cuddle time – try to set aside 1 – 2 hrs if you can. Go to the bathroom first! And relax and enjoy your cuddle time…
