Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) at Vyshnavi Hospitals

At Vyshnavi Hospitals, we focus on the overall health and safety of newborns, with special attention to premature and low birth-weight babies. Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is a well-established and effective approach that supports infant growth and survival through close skin-to-skin contact with the mother. This care method helps recreate the warmth and comfort of the womb, offering babies a secure and nurturing environment.
What is Kangaroo Mother Care?
Kangaroo Mother Care is a structured neonatal care practice that includes continuous skin-to-skin contact, encouragement of exclusive breastfeeding, and early discharge supported by regular follow-ups. It is strongly advised for preterm or underweight newborns as it helps maintain body temperature, strengthens emotional bonding, and supports healthy physical development.
At Vyshnavi Hospitals, our neonatal team is dedicated to delivering compassionate and reliable Kangaroo Mother Care, helping your baby get a strong and healthy beginning.
