Another benefit is the improvement of bonding between mother and baby. In fact, the mother does not necessarily have to be the provider of kangaroo care; the father can also provide it, in turn improving the bond between father and baby. This information can provide safe patient care to the baby because it supports the theory of the most beneficial intervention with the least amount of negative side effects. During my clinical rotation in the NICU, I helped implement kangaroo care with a 24 week old baby and her mother. Kangaroo care not only decreased crying time when the infant got a hell stick, but the pulse and pulse ox vital signs significantly improved. This information can be used in the NICU but it can be implemented outside of the NICU such as at infant’s home setting or in primary care provider offices during routine
