I just got the Nils Bergman video on Kangaroo Mother Care, a very impressive
video, all the nurses in my office love it, we have been showing it to
pregnant women with great impact.  If these babies are not maintaining their
temperature, it seems it would be best to attach them to mom and dad.
I also showed this to my college age daughter, she is majoring in
biochemistry and I thought it would be interesting for her.  Now she wants
to borrow it for school so I will have to buy a second copy.
