Why Kangaroo Care? Kangaroo Care, also known as skin-to-skin care, has been shown to provide numerous benefits for newborns, including improved weight gain, temperature regulation, and overall well-being. It fosters a deep emotional bond between parent and child, laying the foundation for a lifetime of love and attachment.
Let's come together to celebrate the precious bond between parents and babies and promote the practice of Kangaroo Care in Hawai'i. Your presence and support are invaluable as we strive to create a healthier, happier future for Hawai'i's families.
