Oh wise ones...several ILCA conferences ago, I remember hearing the statement
that mother-infant contact increases maternal prolactin levels, and kangaroo
care was therefore recommended in ill and preterm infants even if the infants
could not breastfeed. I cannot put my finger on the references at this
moment. Does anyone else recall this info??
